The Florida manatee is a conservation success story, with as few as 1,000 remaining in the wild just a few decades ago. Unfortunately, this docile, lovable marine mammal faces new threats. Learn more about the Florida manatee, and what we can do to conserve this species along with its fragile habitats.

It is NOT the only place where it is “legal” to swim with manatees in the wild. That is a lie spread by the tour boat operators to scare business their way. It’s the only place monitored by the FWC on a regular basis. The laws regarding swimming with manatees applies to the entire state, Crystal River gets no special treatment or privileges regarding manatee interaction.

@miguelcarunchod.1493 Год назад

I might expeculate one the main reasons of the lack of food is because the manatees no longer migrate on winter and instead stay next to electric power plants where the water is warmer but there are less grass available for them. Those lazy adorable buns.

These are West Indian Manatee. There's no such thing as a "Florida Manatee", per se. Fun fact - it's not so much humans causing their problems... they're eating themselves into extinction... because unlike most grazers, they don't bite off the seagrass they eat (no front teeth), so they rip it out, roots and all. The grass takes longer to grow back again (sometimes years), and simply can't keep up with their voracious appetite.

@kernwildlife 11 месяцев назад

Gonna have to disagree, and go with my manatee biologist friends. The Florida manatee population is quite separated from the Antillean, the other West Indian sub species. You are right about their grazing habits, tooth structure, etc. but the collapse of our coastal sea grass beds lies squarely on elevated nutrient loads (due to human inputs) leading to algal blooms and turbid water.

@jkg6211 11 месяцев назад

@@kernwildlife Yep. I'm going by what the Biologists are saying too - including what I see every day with my own eyes in my backyard. The Algae blooms are definitely caused by human induced nutrient runoff, but even that weren't the case, they're still eating themselves into extinction. The Seagrass simply can't keep up with their numbers and appetite. But every single Biologist and FWC Officer I know and have spoke with confirms - the critters living in my back yard and Mosquito Lagoon are indeed West Indian Manatees. They're not supposed to be this far north... Haulover Canal made that possible, and because of that passageway, they're basically an invasive species here in our Lagoon. So, I guess we can agree to disagree. Lol

@BrazlianBigChungus 8 месяцев назад

@jkg6211 You are completely right, manatees are not supposed to be present in North America, and are primarily found in the Caribbean rivers and the Amazon River.

@BrazlianBigChungus 8 месяцев назад

@@jkg6211 They must be the West Indian manatee, so they sure are invasive to Florida.
