The animal

In the crystal-clear waters off Corsica's Ajaccio coast, the mobula ray evolves in its natural habitat, fascinating us with its elegant silhouette and its central role in marine ecosystems. Although not very visible, this bottom-dwelling shark regulates populations of small fish and invertebrates. Today, this species is threatened by habitat degradation, pollution and fishing pressure. The population of mobula rays in the Mediterranean is around ten thousand individuals, a worrying figure that highlights the stakes involved in preserving it. 

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.
