Until recently, little scientific or government attention was paid to the species in New Zealand. In 2010, Department of Conservation (DOC) marine scientist Clinton Duffy published a paper proving that oceanic manta rays frequent New Zealand waters, at least in the summer months, and in 2011, manta rays were protected under the Wildlife Act. But until now they’ve never been comprehensively studied.
