Last month we got the chance to see cownose rays swim along IRB. It was such a beautiful, breezy day. The water was calm and sparkling. We were snorkeling, I saw something moving right next to us, it got closer and closer to us.. I realized it was a ray! But, then.. I saw MORE rays. We swam out of the water to see what was going on… It was just a mini fever of cownose rays just swimming by! They hung out for a couple of hours, munched on some clams, surfed the waves and they went on their way! It was such an amazing experience!
Remember to give marine animals some space anytime you see them! Don’t crowd them or scare them away. It’s their home and we are just visitors.
