Company activities and impact

MantaWatch CIC's vision is of sustainable ocean ecosystems that support thriving populations of manta rays and other marine biodiversity and underpin the welfare of coastal communities. The company's activities provide benefit to coastal communities worldwide, and particularly within low income and lower-middle income countries. During the 2024 reporting period the company's activities have contributed to its four core thematic pillars: (a) the conservation status of manta rays and other marine biodiversity; (b) sustainable utilisation of this biodiversity (e.g., sustainable tourism or sustainable fisheries); (c) related tools, technologies, methodologies and best practices; and (d) tools and strategies for marine wildlife conservation leadership development. A major focus this year has been research and development related to participative and community-based ecological survey methodologies and data platforms.

Consultation with stakeholders

The company's stakeholders include coastal community residents living in and around project sites, provincial and national government agencies responsible for marine resource management, private sector companies in the marine tourism or fishery sector and academic institutions. During the 2024 reporting period consultations have been held with national governments, including Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries of the Government of Indonesia, Ministry of Fisheries and Ocean Resources of the Government of Kiribati, and Ministry of Fisheries and Blue Economy of the Government of Somalia. Regular informal communication has been maintained with key marine resource users and stakeholders, including community members, private companies and academic institutions.
