17th September is World Manta Day!
Did you know that manta ray babies are born wrapped up like a burrito 🌯? Just imagine! Unfurling their pectoral fins and taking their first underwater flight!

With a gentle flap of its wings, this majestic manta reminds us that 𝖳𝖧𝖤 𝖮𝖢𝖤𝖠𝖭 𝖨𝖲 𝖠𝖫𝖨𝖵𝖤. 🐠 It moves 🌊It connects everything 🪸

Manta's have the largest wingspan of any creature! No living bird rivals their 7m majestic flap.

Mantas don't only have big brains amongst ocean creatures because they have big bodies! They have the biggest brains relative to their body size too! And unsurprisingly, they're incredibly intelligent!

When we keep the ocean healthy, we protect the countless creatures that call it home.

We use corals of opportunity in our nurseries, which are fragments of corals broken off from their parent colony.
This can be from:
🪸 Natural causes such as storms, waves, currents and marine life
or
🪸 Human causes such as anchoring, tourism, etc.

If left on the sea floor, these fragments have a low chance of survival, so we collect them to give them a second chance. We attach them to our coral nurseries so they can grow and finally be outplanted onto the reef!

Once the nursery is full, our job is still not done. We clean the nurseries weekly, monitor coral growth and survival every 3 months, and after a year we outplant the corals to their final location: the reef! Videos are coming about these parts, keep an eye out 👀

Frogfish are some of the most enigmatic and well-camouflaged fish in the marine world. Their unique hunting techniques, ability to blend seamlessly into their surroundings, and bizarre appearance make them one of the most fascinating predators in the ocean. Unlike most fish that rely on speed or agility, frogfish are ambush predators, striking with a jaw-dropping speed of 6 milliseconds—one of the fastest recorded movements in the animal kingdom. What’s your favourite frogfish factoid?

Is it really work when you’re having this much fun? 🪸

Coral reef restoration can be incredibly rewarding, particularly when you start to see the results of your work.

Our WiseOceans marine biologists are working to restore coral reefs, from growing and maintaining coral fragments to outplanting them back onto the reef.
It’s amazing to see the impact that these small coral fragments can have as they grow and contribute to healthier, thriving reef ecosystems.

My 3 tips to become a marine biologist are:

1. Get experience
As much as you can, as early as you can. It is what matters the most. You won’t get a job with no experience, even if you have a degree!

2. Network
It’s a career accelerator and a great way to make friends. Reach out to people online (instagram, LinkedIn) and irl (students, interns, events)!

3. Never give up
It’s not an easy career path, but it is possible and it is so worth it once you get a job doing what you love while protecting the ocean! It is possible so don’t give up 🫶

If you want personalized guidance and recommendations for your journey in marine conservation, you can book a 1:1 call with me (link in bio - 39€ for 1h)
