It's #WorldOceanDay! Did you know manta rays can be as big as a car and may have only 4-7 pups in a lifetime?
I am teaming up with the Mobula Conservation Project to bring you fun products with my ray paintings. 20% of every purchase will go toward reducing mobulid ray bycatch and mortality!

Back in 2019, @melissacronin.bsky.social asked me to create illustrations about ray bycatch. Having spent most of my life wanting to be a marine biologist, this was a dream job. Together, we created educational posters for use on tuna fishing boats in an effort to help mobulid rays survive release.
