2:00 -  4:00  Cruisers Roundtable - Aldo from Project Manta

Project Manta is a group of researchers and students in Bahía de Banderas whose purpose is to support the marine conservation of the giant manta (Mobula birostris) through research, capacity development, citizen science and dissemination.

Action for Mantas, a partner of The Manta Trust, takes a multidisciplinary approach to the worldwide conservation of manta rays and their habitat through robust science and research, while raising awareness and providing education to the general public and community stakeholders alike.

Join Aldo from Project Manta as he shares his wealth of knowledge of these fascinating and mysterious creatures with whom we share the Bay. The giant mantas are incredibly interesting, and Aldo, a key researcher, knows a lot about them and is very excited to share that information with our Club! He will have slides to accompany his remarks.

Cruisers Roundtable

Please come and listen to these two catalysts for transformation in Bucerias. You will be inspired by their story and by their great work.
