Limited Edition Manta Ray Bracelet

الوصف

The 4Ocean bracelet is made from 100% recycled materials. The beads are made from recycled glass bottles & the cord is made from recycled plastic water bottles. Every bracelet purchased funds the removal of one pound of trash from the Ocean. Adjustable from 2-5" in diameter. As filter feeders, manta rays swim with their mouths wide open and use special structures in their gills, called gill rakers, to strain plankton out of the water column. This method of feeding makes plastic ingestion an inescapable and potentially deadly reality for these unique creatures. Commercial fishing also poses a significant threat. Entanglement, bycatch, and poaching for the illegal gill-plate trade have sent manta ray populations into a downward spiral. Climate change, habitat loss, boat strikes, and unregulated tourism also have a negative impact on manta ray populations. Communities that once hunted manta rays have become some of their greatest protectors after learning that these beautiful creatures actually have more value, both ecologically and economically, when they're alive and allowed to thrive.
