Manatees inhabit wetlands and coastal areas, relying on healthy aquatic vegetation and warm water to survive. Human development threatens mangroves and wetlands, while manatees face water pollution and starvation risks. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #ManateeMonday

Update: DOGE cuts at a Florida manatee refuge have been reversed — for now. Fired rangers at the Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge in Florida got their jobs back, but manatee fans and local leaders worry that it is only temporary. #ManateeMonday

Florida Manatees must be returned to endangered status, which would not only require greater protections for the manatees, but also their critical habitat. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #ManateeMonday #Manatees #EndangeredSpeciesAct

Temperatures continue to drop, and Florida's manatees are impacted by the cold and experience the highest death toll from cold stress in 6 years. Rescuers, Aquariums, Sea World, and Disney rallies to give the manatees safe refuge. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #ManateeMonday #ColdStress

Seagrass beds are vital habitat and food for wintering Florida manatees, making their restoration a priority. Restoration methods include protecting seeds with hessian bags, transplanting seagrass plugs, and using bird roosting stakes as a source of fertilizer. #WetTribe #ManateeMonday #Seagrass

There are no specific reports of the impact of Hurricane Melissa on endangered manatees in Jamaica; however, based on data from other hurricanes, manatees typically seek shelter in wetlands and mangroves, which provide some protection from storms. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #ManateeMonday #Jamaica

The proposed change would redefine the protection “goal” to be the minimum number of animals needed for “continued survival” which fails to support the long-term recovery of manatees from a 20% population loss. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #ManateeMonday #MMPA
