A Manta Trust expedition the home of the largest known population of reef manta rays


Join an expedition to a remote northern atoll in the Madives researching manta rays with the Manta Trust. This fascinating film, entered in the MPB Geographical Better World Video Awards, documents the trust’s work understanding why the mantas aggregate in such large numbers, their feeding and mating behaviour and discovers a number of cleaning stations where they gather to be stripped of parasites by smaller fish.

If you have a video which will inspire others to help conserve our oceans and make the world a better place, please send us a YouTube link and you could win a fabulous prize – £3,000 towards a trip to Wakatobi, a £1,000 donation to your cause or charity, plus £500 vouchers to spend with MPB.

This film has been entered in the MPB Geographical Better World Video Awards. See all the entries and the winners.
