Maldives Manta Conservation Programme

Established 2005

For the Manta Trust, the Maldives is where it all started.

The Maldives Manta Conservation Programme (MMCP), formerly the Maldivian Manta Ray Project (MMRP), is a Maldives-registered charity and is the Manta Trust’s flagship research project. After two decades of research across this island nation, the MMCP has evolved into one of the largest and longest-standing manta ray conservation groups in the world.
