This came in the mail today, thought we would pass it on:As a leading dive industry member, I am sure you share my concern for the oceans and all their inhabitants. Not only do we depend on the ocean for our survival, but your livelihood is directly linked to its health. Its protection should be a primary concern of all those that enjoy its beauty, especially those in the dive industry.
The Manta Network was founded with a goal to engage the dive industry in the conservation and protection of manta and mobula rays. We invite you to become part of our Dive Industry Advocacy program. Your participation will have a significant impact on the protection of one of the ocean’s most magnificent creatures.
If you would like to become a dive industry manta advocate please respond to this email or register online by selecting “Industry Advocate below.”
We will send you a special package that will include information on how you and your staff can help. In the kit you will also find a counter display with literature to give to your customers. Please make sure you send your mailing address so we can quickly mail your kit.
You can start today by printing and displaying our announcement about our April manta expedition to Panama. See attachment.
We look forward to your support of our efforts to learn more about and to protect the remaining manta and mobula rays before it is too late. It would be a great pity if future generations of divers could not share our excitement about diving with the magnificent manta rays.
Yours truly,
Diane Wells
Dive Industry Liaison
P.S. Please take the time to respond today as this will be the only request we will send.
