Dr. Jesse Cochran took REL members Kaitlyn O’Toole alex.kattan and EB Richardson to Mafia, Tanzania to help collect data for KAUST Research and Marine Megafauna Foundation. Today he presented the season’s findings to the community! Go team #whaleshark

CNN InsideAfrica just featured Marine Megafauna Foundation’s work in Moz. It was a honest & equitable portrayal of the journey we’ve been on for the last 20 yrs to fight for the conservation of the #inhambaneseascape & connect coastal communities to their ocean.

Devil rays! Manta rays! All under our noses (and toes). What a fun story to write and research. Marine Megafauna Foundation Jessica Pate

A collaborative effort and some #citzenscience by the US branch of the Marine Megafauna Foundation Foundation, together with NOAA Fisheries and Normandeau Associates, Inc. has shown that the #endangered sicklefin #devilray is found off the US Atlantic coast. divemagazine.com/scuba-diving-n…
