Where eagle rays spread their wings in US waters
Until recently, the geographic wanderings of the whitespotted eagle ray have always been a mystery.
Now, in a study that took place from 2016 to 2018, a team of researchers have started to unlock some of its movement patterns.
The 54 rays in the study were tagged with acoustic transmitters, along both the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic coast of Florida, using collaborative acoustic telemetry networks.
