Check out our #ghostgear findings from our 2019 expeditions across #MyeikArchipelago in #Myanmar.
We surveyed almost 90 reefs and found 95% of them to be contaminated with some form of abandoned, lost, or discarded fishing gear #ALDFG.
6 trips and nearly 7 tonnes of ghost gear gone. 🐟💪
With Langann Island community, we’ve made our biggest ALDFG removal yet—keeping harmful nets out of reefs, turtles & mobula rays in Langann LMMA. 🌊💙

Earlier this July, MOP's Thanda joined the 2025 Asia Shark Research & Conservation Leadership Workshop in Palawan 🇵🇭, a powerful week of learning, connecting, and growing. Huge thanks to Blue Capacity Collective and everyone who made it possible! 📷#ASRA #MyanmarOcean
💧 Final update!
Thanks to your incredible support, we raised $17,820 and delivered 369 water filters to earthquake-affected communities in Myanmar.
Your donations, logistics help, and CSO-led trainings made this possible. We are so grateful. 💙
We didn’t hit 500 filters, but we brought clean water, peace of mind, and better health to hundreds of families.
This was a collective effort and proof that compassion travels far.
Thank you for standing with us. 🙏

Mobulid rays, including manta and devil rays, are among the most endangered elasmobranch species due to heavy fishing driven by demand for their meat and gills:
➡️43 countries catch significant numbers of rays
➡️14 countries extract gill plates

Iconic rays face ongoing threats to survive, shows a new study. The research shines a spotlight on the deeply unsustainable trade in manta and mobula gills and meat, at levels that will drive this family to extinction if action isn’t taken urgently. bit.ly/3Zz8bXU
