The Manta Catalog consists of a series of images and sighting information for individual mantas that have been seen at Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary or nearby banks.
Each manta ray has been placed in a category depending on its unique underbelly markings. However, some manta rays' markings might be interpreted differently by different people, so be sure to look at all of the preview images to find the manta you are trying to identify.
This page includes additional images of mantas M4, M7, and M9, including larger versions of the images from the Spots preview page. These mantas have spot-like markings on their undersides.
Sightings and additional observations about these animals are also noted on this page.
