Manta Ray Tracker for Android

11 things about Manta Ray Tracker

1. Many Kona Manta Ray guides contribute their sighting information into the database, but we are always looking for more data.

2. Please contribute your own manta photos to our sighting database! If you can't identify it, we will help you figure it out if it's an acceptable photo.

3. You can create as many sightings as you want entering the specific information for each one, continue to fill out the information as needed, and then submit reports to us once you are back in internet range.

4. Help us create awareness of the plight of Manta Rays worldwide by studying our local Kona Manta Ray population.

5. The first Kona Manta Ray ever identfied was Lefty, and there are now more than 300 unique rays catalogued.

6. Ask your guide to submit their sighting information, or take some ID photos yourself and send those in.

7. Crowd Sourcing Data Collection and Citizen Science contributions allow for a larger collection of data than is possible with a limited number of researchers.

8. We also want to accumulate as many photos of each individual as we can with the idea that eventually we may be able to automatically recognize an individual from their photo.

9. You can create a location for your sighting anywhere along the Kona Coast.

10. If you submit a photo of an unknown manta, you can name it and we will add it to the ID catalog.

11. Whether the individual mantas are already identified, or you just have a total number seen, we want your reports.
