Dry bags are one of the most important pieces of equipment any marine researcher can have. They keep water off your essentials like phones, clothes, and food.
Help us provide dry bags for interns and student researchers by donating today!

It's #ManateeAppreciationDay and we're here to tell you something really cool about manatees. Did you know manatees have nails on their flippers? This vestige from their land-based ancestors is one way we can see similarities to their elephant and hyrax cousins!

Happy Manatee Day! Did you know manatees have "marching molars?" They continuously produce teeth in the back of their mouths, and when their front teeth get worn down from all the seagrass chewing, they fall out and the remaining teeth "march" forward!
What are some of your favorite #manatee facts?
September 7, 2025 at 5:53 PM
And the answer is....MANATEE!

ℹ️ Did you know? There are several species of manatees, including the Florida manatee (a subspecies of the West Indian manatee), the Antillean manatee, the Amazonian manatee, and the African manatee!

Day one of trying to become the first account Jaylen Brown @fchwpo.bsky.social follows on here because our Executive Director is a #Celtics fan! Oh and also our mission of advancing conservation through equity seems to align with his educational interests. #conservation #education #equity
