In their first full-length documentary, The Jetlagged accompany manta ray researcher Elitza Germanov (Marine Megafauna Foundation) on a field trip in Komodo in Indonesia. Manta ray numbers are declining because their gills have recently become a dubious trend in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Numerous conservation efforts are taking place to protect the gentle ocean giants, including “Citizen Science” projects to identify individuals by their unique spot patterns on their bellies. The filmmakers document the efforts of scientists and conservationists in Indonesia like Elitza Germanov and Sarah Lewis (Indonesian Manta Project/Manta Trust), who are working tirelessly to save these beautiful animals from extinction.

All sea turtle species are threatened with extinction. To help them, some marine conservation facilities around the world hatch sea turtle eggs and keep the hatchlings in tanks, until they have grown bigger and are supposedly more fit for a survival in the wild.
Eco warrior Siân Williams from the Gili Eco Trust explains why this method doesn't help baby sea turtles - actually the opposite. Turtle hatchlings need to get to the sea immediately after they hatched out of their nests.
