Manatee Awareness Month

November is Manatee Awareness Month! Manatees are endangered, and sadly the biggest their survival is collision with recreational watercraft. Scientists believe that the manatee population will not recover unless this cause of death is controlled. *Please* to all who operate watercraft in the manatee's home waters - obey the speed rules and manatee zone signs, do not speed through shallow waters or over seagrass beds, and please always wear polarized glasses so that you have a better chance of seeing these endangered animals in your path. ♥ Click here for more manatee info and boating tips from SaveTheManatee.org
