I am extremely happy to collaborate with The Shark Cafe and Shark Allies again! This time to promote awareness around the majestic Manta Ray! These filter feeding fish are targeted for their meat and gill plates, which are falsely marketed as a new age medicine and consumer detox aid. This industry provides incentive to target Rays and harvest those caught in by-catch. Manta Rays are very intelligent and independent beings and have a slow reproductive cycle; with females reproducing, on average, just one pup a year! With over-fishing its no wonder that Rays are now considered highly threatened!
Originally painted on glass with lead oxide, the Manta Ray was photographed, edited and printed onto 100% cotton Turkish towels. Directly support marine conservation and positively influence the world by shopping with us! Follow the link to view this Eco-Friendly Artist collaboration and many others!
