Oceanic manta rays play a critical role in maintaining the balance of ocean ecosystems. As filter feeders, they help control plankton populations, which in turn supports the health of the marine food web. With wingspans reaching up to 7 meters, they are the largest species in the ocean, yet they are incredibly graceful swimmers. Their unique ability to migrate long distances makes them essential for distributing nutrients throughout various marine environments. By understanding their place in the ocean, we gain insight into the larger environmental picture—how interconnected life in the sea truly is.
