Male, 25

After doing an undergraduate degree in marine biology, I'm now doing a marine biology PhD in the UK at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton. I love what I do, but, contrary to popular belief, very few marine biologists actually swim with dolphins or spend their days scuba diving. In my spare time I edit a blog on marine science. Below is a link to a blog post I wrote on why I dread telling people I'm a marine biologist. I recommend that you check it out!

At what timing should we go to see a lot of rays sleeping in the shallow water on the beach? At the lowest tide? or before 2hrs or after? We only got to see a lot of indentations on the beach but not the actual rays. Thank you in advance.
