Manta rays have a profound healing effect on people who meet them – both physical and emotional. When you come within inches of a manta and feel the massive rush of ocean water come across your body, it changes you.
But the gentle giants of the sea face a great number of threats and are now endangered.
If they become extinct, not only would their many mysteries disappear – but the generations to come will miss out on the magical and life-changing experience of swimming with them.
At Manta Ray Advocates, we want a world in which everyone can experience the restorative power of manta rays – both online and here along the West Coast of the Big Island of Hawaii. That’s why we share the incredible beauty and grace of manta rays – so more people will help us protect them, and we can continue unravelling their many mysteries.
We are James and Martina Wing, and we devote our lives to serving and educating the public about the ocean and marine life in general, and manta rays specifically. Our company is built on a bedrock of love for each other and for the manta rays, a passion for giving our guests an exceptional experience, and an unstoppable drive to protect our oceans.
We’re passionate about sharing our 50+ combined years of field experience with manta rays in our blog, in the newsletter, and on social media. Their personalities and individualities, scientific discoveries and real-life encounters, the threats they’re facing, and how we can fight together to protect the manta rays and other marine life.
