Hi all,
It's hard to see and still not clear what killed these 220 mobula rays and washed up on the beach in Gaza.
Mobulas haven't been spotted in the region for 6 years.
This happened just a few days before the CITES which will open in Bangkok and an agreement should result on some species of sharks and rays fishing regulation.
If you haven't signed the manta rays petition yet, it's the moment to do it now befor the CITES.
