                              Manta interaction with divers

                              Divers from all part of the world come to Mozambique, mainly attracted by the megafauna, particularly manta rays and whale sharks. However there is an evident and growing concern that divers impacts might affect the health of the reefs and manta ray populations.

                              This projects aims to investigate divers impacts on manta rays and its habitat. Information from this study will be invaluable to diving tourism management in Mozambique and other areas with similar characteristics.

                              To achieve this objective, standardized focal diver technique is used.
