“We are not putting fish in the ocean & harvesting them. It’s not like chicken farming.' Daniel Fernando on risks to manta & devil rays. 'We’ve waited so long that they now face imminent collapse. We are going to have to make some very difficult decisions.” theguardian.com/environment/20…

New led by Dr. Samantha Sherman shows that 59% of sharks and rays that spend some or all of their lives on coral reefs have an elevated risk of extinction. And rays are more threatened than sharks.

There is uproar in Sri Lanka when endangered elephants are killed but 'the same attention is not given to the endangered marine animals such as manta & devil rays' or similarly threatened rays like sawfish & rhino rays, some of which face greater threat, explains Daniel Fernando
