AudraNRC is aware that we will need to take appropriate action under the ESA because giant manta rays are listed as threatened. Let me know when you might be able to talk about next steps.

Thank you, Jodie. I am also looping in Calusa Horn, who is a biologist on NOAA's manta ray team.
Calusa, I know you will be interested in the data that was collected (see below) on the 2 mantas that were recently captured and released at the St. Lucie Nuclear Power Plant.
