Rays are understudied and undervalued in Latin America and the Caribbean. The region hosts some of the most iconic and endangered batoid species in the world, including mobulas, sawfishes, eagle rays, and endemic freshwater rays, but lacks a cohesive approach to the research, conservation and management of the taxa. The symposium will highlight this diverse group of fishes from researchers throughout the region.
