In less than 90 years, manta ray populations have declined by nearly 80 percent due to threats like plastic pollution, climate change, overfishing, and illegal hunting.

The Manta Ray Bracelets were introduced to shine a spotlight on these issues and drive positive action on behalf of manta rays. For every Manta Ray Bracelet sold this month, one pound of trash will be pulled from the ocean, rivers, and coastlines, and 4Ocean will donate $1 to the Indonesian Manta Project, their partner for the month of May (2021).

The coral and black cords of the Manta Ray Bracelets represent the combined threats that are causing manta populations to spiral. As always, the “4O” charm identifies you as a member of the clean ocean movement and symbolizes your commitment to the clean ocean movement.

Manta rays are filter feeders and up to half of what they eat can be plastic!
