How was Lana Del Ray Named?

Amy Covert identified Lana Del Ray off of Beach 67’s on March 26th, 2023. She was a baby, around 3-4 feet in wingspan, healing from two shark bits on her left wing and a large Cookiecutter shark bite on her right wing.

Fun Fact: At first, we thought Lana was a female, but after taking a closer look, claspers were found, so the manta is actually a male!
