Big MommaBig Momma was the first ray to be tagged as part of the Stingray Diaries project back in 2016 and we have seen her every year since.

NomadNomad was the second male we tagged for the project. About a month later he was detected some 200 km south. Quite surprising for a species thought to have a home range of about 25 km.
|
Stumpy LouStumpy Lou is named so because she only have a stump where her tail used to be. She was one of the first rays tagged back in 2016 and we have seen her on every single trip since.
|
RayleneRaylene is the original matriarch at one of our study sites. She is big and full of attitude, chasing off any other ray that tries to get her fish!
|
BlueBlue is the greediest ray we have encountered. She will sit over our bait box while we try to chum other rays to be tagged, and she will actively push at your feet until she gets a piece of fish.
|
Beastie GirlBeastie girl is one for the record books. She is the biggest ray we have ever tagged, measuring in at a whopping 2.3 metres wide. Needless to say, she made Joni feel very small while trying to tag her.
