Why do so many devil rays come to this one spot in the ocean?

Every summer, Chilean devil rays gather in large schools above a shallow seamount in the Azores archipelago. These oceanic nomads are still little understood, and the Azores is one of only a few locations where these rays gather in large numbers providing a unique opportunity for biologist Ana Sobral to unravel their mysterious lives.

We we're fishing for shrimp and caught one by mistake. Before we could even start to think of how to get it out of the net it thrashed two time and ripped the net open and swam away. We had a lot of sewing to repair the nets. But we were very it was able to get away and hopefully not harmed
