Seagrass loss, hurricanes, and humans all contributing to problems for manatees
1 year ago

They're loved by millions in the state of Florida, but their future is at risk. Manatees are the gentle giants of the water and are synonymous with Florida. But, sadly, they continue to die off year after year. November marks Manatee Awareness month, and advocates for the mammal hope more eyes on the issue will reduce deaths. Jaime Vaccaro is one of those advocates and is the supervisor of Florida and Manatee at Zoo Tampa. She's worked at the zoo for 15 years and watched as the rehabilitation need has grown over time. In her first years at the zoo, it was common to have about two manatees at the rehabilitation center and no more.
