MANTA WATCH 👀
A new project being supported by @yachtsforscience. Lydia runs @mantawatchnewzealand is an experienced marine ecologist and has worked with Manta rays since 2013.
The biggest challenge for Manta Watch is consistent and quality time out in the field. The smaller vessels they use are heavily governed by weather, drastically reducing their time to data collect and tag. Larger vessels that can remain 'on-station’ with better facilities onboard. This is where yachts for science is helping find Lydia and her team larger boats.
The bulk of the research is carried out between December and March, this is when the oceanic manta rays are most prolific in the Haruaki gulf and Northern NE cost of NZ North Island, from North Cape to East Cape.

CANADA INVESTS IN OCEAN MONITORING 🇨🇦
Today Canadian government announces $46.5 million for deep-sea research.
The federal government is investing more than $46 million over the next five years to see what’s under Canada’s oceans and then protect it.
Fisheries Minister Joyce Murray says understanding of the marine environment is “relatively meagre” given that oceans covers 70 per cent of the Earth’s surface.
Speaking during a Vancouver news conference at the International Marine Protected Areas Congress, Murray says the investment will allow Canada to get a clearer picture of how the ecosystem is changing and how to sustainably manage resources.
The funding will come from the government’s $3.5-billion Ocean Protection Plan.

The interview, accompanied by a photo shoot by Giovanni Santarelli, is the occasion to dive deep into the history of Worldrise, from its foundation to the last initiatives, with a focus on “artivism”, the idea of using art to spread awareness about the ocean and its problems.
