The Chagos Archipelago Manta Project will be tracking reef manta rays in the Chagos Archipelago using photo-ID techniques and a suite of electronic and acoustic tags which will be integrated with long-term, in situ oceanographic monitoring with a focus on the manta aggregation site at Egmont Atoll. This integration of bio-logging data, stable isotope analysis and oceanographic information will help us learn more about how this species utilises the archipelago’s ecosystems, which environmental cues dictate their movements, and what role the Chagos Archipelago’s marine protected area plays as a reef manta ray refuge within the Indian Ocean.
Lead investigator: Joanna Harris (University of Plymouth/Manta Trust).
