About this Story
Endangered Giant Manta Ray
The image I chose is one of a giant manta ray. It's meaningful to me because of the sharp decrease in their numbers, due mainly to irresponsible fishing practices. The 2020 IUCN report estimates a staggering 50% to 79% decline in their population over the past 87 years. Unsustainable fishing methods, like overfishing and destructive gear use, are largely to blame for this crisis. There lies a pressing need for stricter regulation and increased public awareness surrounding this issue, as it's threatening the survival of these majestic creatures. Let's ensure they are around for future
