In this episode of Sea The World, Cindy speaks with Animal Rescue Specialist. Maggie Mariolis about manatee rescue efforts.
November marks the start of National Manatee Awareness Month, and it couldnât come at a more critical time for the species. Floridaâs manatees are currently experiencing an Unusual Mortality Event (UME) â a larger than normal number of fatalities among a given marine mammal population. This year has seen a record number of manatee deaths â almost 1,000 â and as a result, has sparked much conservation among the community of returning these animals to the endangered species list. Agencies and organizations alike are joining forces to help protect and preserve the manatees left and provide care for those who need support.

âThe manatee is a national treasure and Floridaâs official marine mammal and all of us owe a duty of care to do everything possible to prevent these gentles giants from disappearing forever from our waterways,â said Congressman Darren Soto. âWe are working across the aisle to introduce legislation to grant manatees the highest level of federal protection possible. But we canât get it done alone: involvement by every-day people and committed private sector groups like SeaWorld are a vital part of solving this equation.â -
