Our Ocean Education Story
The Manta Trust aims to conserve manta and devil rays and their habitats through research, collaboration, and education. Our educational mission is to:
Inspire people around the world to become knowledgeable about manta and devil rays and passionate about protecting ocean habitats.
We have a two-pronged approach to achieve this mission:
People around the world have access to high-quality marine education.
People around the world have a personal connection with nature, particularly the oceans.
Since 2015 we have been delivering high quality marine education that focuses on increasing personal connection to the ocean in the Maldives. In 2020, we upscaled our educational work, creating a series of webinars, science communication resources, ocean education lesson plans for teachers and activities for children, as well as delivering engaging virtual classes with schools. All of this passionate work has come together to form the Education Portal. We hope you enjoy browsing the portal as much as we enjoyed creating it for you!
