Dr Andrea Marshall is a marine biologist known for her research into manta rays, and a founder of the Marine Megafauna Foundation.[1] She was the subject of the Natural World documentary Andrea: Queen of Mantas.[2]

She completed her PhD on manta rays in 2008 and now works at the Manta Ray & Whale Shark Research Center at Tofo Beach, Mozambique, where she also lives.[3]

She is credited with the inclusion of manta rays in the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITIES).[1] She gave a TED talk in 2012[3] and was named a National Geographic "Emerging Explorer" in 2013.[4]

She developed Manta Matcher, an online citizen science database for identifying individual manta rays from their unique markings.[5]
