@ifw02: Manta rays are one of Hawaii’s most well-known marine animals. They can have wingspans up to 18 feet but are harmless because they feed on tiny plankton instead of other animals. The Kona Coast on the Big Island is famous for nighttime manta ray snorkeling and diving, where lights attract plankton and the rays come to feed. Scientists identify individual manta rays by the unique spot patterns on their undersides, allowing them to study their behavior over time. Manta rays are important to Hawaii’s ocean ecosystem, and protecting them from pollution and other threats helps preserve the state’s marine life for future generations. #hawaii #kona #endangered #black
