The manta ray is one of the most intelligent species in the ocean, having the largest brain-to-size ratio of any cold-blooded fish. They can recognize themselves in a mirror and obtain similar cognitive capabilities as dolphins. These special skills are why Vertex11 has chosen the manta ray to represent us as a brand. This relationship is also why we feel a deep obligation to protect them to the best of our abilities. Manta rays are constantly attacked and hunted for their meat and gill plates. They are also a massive target due to unproven beliefs that they provide medical benefits.
The Manta Trust is on a mission to deliver a sustainable future for the oceans, where manta rays and other cartilaginous fishes thrive in healthy, diverse marine ecosystems. Vertex11 is proud to say we have partnered with them to help protect this highly threatened species.
We have worked out a collaboration that entails a significant charitable donation every time Vertex11 engages with a new business partnership. So the more connections Vertex11 makes with organizations, the more the Manta Trust can further its cause to protect the manta ray. The work they are doing is vital to the sustainability of our oceans, and we are happy to say that we are helping achieve their mission.
Vertex11 will announce new partnership donations and work with the Manta Trust to create updates on the progress, thanks to the support of Vertex11 and many others around the world. Please join us in celebrating this new partnership and the good this will bring to the planet’s ecosystems for generations to come.
If you or your organization is searching for a critical cause to support, we encourage joining Vertex11 in helping the Manta Trust achieve its mission. Learn more about the cause and how you can support them here.
