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.
