The majority of manta ray locations revealed by the satellite tracking were in major shipping routes in the region. The satellite tag that some of the rays traveled more than 621 miles over a year period. Manta rays spent most of their time traveling along coastal areas plentiful in zoo plankton. Satellites are used to track the Manta rays through the ocean. Tracking devices are attached to the manta rays backs to transmit there location of the Manta Ray.
Manta rats can Also be monitored by wildlife cameras where cameras can either record video or take pictures depending on motion. Theses cameras are beneficial to the sea life because they don't hurt the animal and they aren't build into reefs so no sea life is hurt with theses cameras.
Also animals can't eat them because they are attached to the ground. The cameras also a not a benefit because manta rays migrate and the cameras would have to be moved around so many times that it wouldn't be very beneficial for the researcher.
But with the help of gps trackers on the manta rays researchers such as myself can dive down into the water with a high tech camera and record the manta rays doing there daily cycle. This would be a great use of both aquatic life monitoring technologies. This would help researchers be able to get up and close with rays so we can study them more in depth. While also monitoring there population with the stationary cameras and mobile researchers.
