Estimating the exact number of manta rays in the world is challenging due to their wide distribution and migratory behavior. However, both species of manta rays (the giant manta ray and the reef manta ray) are considered vulnerable, with populations in decline due to threats like overfishing and habitat loss. Conservation efforts are ongoing to better understand their numbers and protect their habitats. Studies suggest that more research is needed to obtain accurate population estimates globally.
The IUCN (World Conservation Union) lists manta rays as Near Threatened. Man is the main predator of manta rays. Manta products are used in Chinese medicines, and as a low cost filler in shark fin soup. Growing demand has seen catches increase exponentially in recent years.
