"I was snorkeling with these two humpback whales in Roca Partida. The mother remained at 40-50ft while the calf played around, up and down. Then, while the calf was swimming towards the surface she suddenly sped up and jumped out of the water. I thought she was going to land right on top of me so I just closed my eyes, swam away and took as many photos as I could. I loved this one in particular." @erick.higuera #pelagiclife #mexicopelagico #humpback #whale #breaching #rocapartida #solmarv #ocean #underwater #uwphoto

Lagerquist, Bruce R. Mate, Joel G. Ortega-Ortiz, Martha Winsor, Jorge Urbán-Ramirez - Humpback whales wintering in the Revillagigedo Archipelago, Mexico, have been considered a different subpopulation from those found off mainland Mexico and Baja California. The primary feeding grounds for Revillagigedo humpbacks remain unknown. In February 2003, we deployed 11 Argos satellite-monitored radio tags to track movements and surfacings of humpback whales (five adults without calves, five mothers with calves, one calf) off Socorro Island in the Revillagigedo Archipelago. Tracking ranged from 222 to 10,481 km over 4.9–149.1 d. Eight whales left Socorro Island: five visited other Mexican wintering destinations, seven moved north of these areas. Migration routes were primarily offshore (average 444 km). Two whales were tracked to feeding grounds: one to British Columbia (46 d migration), and one to Alaska (49 d migration). Mean travel speeds were 1.2 km/h in wintering areas, 4.0 km/h during migration, and 2.2 km/h in feeding areas. Overall surfacing rates ranged from 21 to 88 surfacings/h. Surfacing rates differed between the calf and all other whales, and between feeding areas and migratory/wintering areas for the calf and an adult without a calf. The calf also showed diel variation in surfacing rates. The offshore habits of tagged whales may explain scarce resightings of Revillagigedo humpbacks outside the Revillagigedo Archipelago. #Humpback #Whale #SolmarV #Respect #Underwater #Video #Socorro #Conservation #Education #connected

Amazing footage from @nakaweproject "From A Remora's Perspective" In 2011, mantas became strictly protected in international waters because of their inclusion in the Convention on Migratory Species of Wild Animals. The CMS is an international treaty organization concerned with conserving migratory species and habitats on a global scale. Although individual nations were already protecting manta rays, the fish often migrate through unregulated waters, putting them at increased risk from overfishing. The IUCN declared M. birostris to be 'Vulnerable with an elevated risk of extinction' in November 2011. In the same year, M. alfredi was also classified as 'Vulnerable' with local populations of fewer than 1000 individuals and little or no interchange between subpopulations. The Manta Trust is a UK-based charity dedicated to research and conservation efforts for manta rays. The organization's website is also an information resource for manta conservation and biology. Besides these international initiatives, some countries are taking their own actions. New Zealand has banned the taking of manta rays since the introduction of the Wildlife Act in 1953. In June 1995, the Maldives banned the export of all ray species and their body parts, effectively putting a stop to manta fishing as there had not previously been a fishery for local consumption. The government reinforced this in 2009 with the introduction of two marine protected areas. In the Philippines, the taking of mantas was banned in 1998, but this was overturned in 1999 under pressure from local fishermen. Fish stocks were surveyed in 2002, and the ban was reintroduced. The taking or killing of mantas in Mexican waters was prohibited in 2007. This ban may not be strictly enforced, but laws are being more rigidly applied at Isla Holbox, an island off the Yucatán Peninsula, where manta rays are used to attract tourists.

Most peoples vacation would be on a beach or hiking in the mountains, but I really went on my dream vacation. I had the pleasure to get up close and personal with the apex predator of the ocean. I spent 3 days in the Pacific Ocean at Guadalupe Island. I’m very happy to share my vision of the the trip. It’s going to get sharkie! 🦈 Special thanks to @nikkisevy @euanart for showing this rookie the ropes.
