This is where you make a vital contribution to manta ray conservation!

By submitting your manta photos to our MantaWatch database, you help our scientists monitor and track manta ray populations.

Sightings can be recent or several years old. Just remember to enter the date and location as accurately as possible.

If you have a lot of photos to submit, try our batch reporting page.

Each manta has unique markings like a fingerprint

An ID photo clearly shows the underside of the manta, including markings around the gill area. Read the MantaWatch Guide for more hints and tips on how to get good ID photos.

If you have other great manta photos that you’d lie to share, why not head over to the MantaWatch Flickr group.
