The expedition

Every spring, on the shores of the Sea of Cortez, the small town of La Ventana becomes the stage for one of the ocean's greatest spectacles: thousands of mobula rays gather and migrate. Between spectacular leaps out of the water and immense schools gliding beneath the surface, at the heart of a sea still brimming with life.

Going further.

Two naturalist guides accompany the expedition to go beyond the spectacle: understanding the migrations, decoding behaviours, and measuring what the disappearance of these gatherings would mean for the ocean.
