Photographer and journalist Thomas P Peschak has an image and article featured in a double page spread in the August 2012 issue of National Geographic (NG) Magazine, which seeks to publicize the issue around mobula and ray fishing. The disturbing image shows rays for sale in a fish market in Sri Lanka. Thomas captured the image early in the morning using a long exposure which blurred the bustle of fishermen and traders but left the dead rays sharp and in focus. The NG article’s text is based on the excellent Shark Savers/Wild Aid “Manta Ray of Hope” report by Wetpixel moderator Shawn Heinrichs, Mary O’Malley, Hannah Medd and Paul J Hilton.
