RayWatch appeal

Join our conservation effort!

Help us track Thornback Rays in the Mersey by adopting a ray, today.

"The results of the project are hugely important for the conservation management of the Thornback Ray. Since the 1980's, they have declined by 80% in the North Sea alone due to over fishing."
- Rachel Ball, Aquarium Curator, World Museum
