In the crystal-clear waters of Corsica, the mobula ray swims in its natural habitat, fascinating observers with its elegant silhouette and its central role in the marine ecosystems of the open sea. This pelagic ray regulates populations of small fish and invertebrates by filtering huge quantities of water. The species is now threatened by habitat degradation, pollution, and fishing pressure, whether directed at the species or indirect. Estimated at around 10,000 individuals in the northwestern Mediterranean, the species is now classified as Endangered in the French Mediterranean.
Aware of the vulnerability of this species, the Ross'Wild fund actively supports preservation actions, in partnership with the French association AILERONS, to ensure its protection and safeguard the marine balance.
