It doesn’t take seeing a manatee to help save a manatee. Here are a few easy and simple ways you can make a difference to manatees — and our OCEANS.
Go fertilizer free. Toxic algal blooms, many of which appear because of toxic runoff, pose a harmful threat to manatees. In 2021, over 1,100 manatees died in Florida because of red tide.
Clean a shore. Get involved in local beach and shoreline cleanup efforts to remove trash and debris from coastal areas. By taking action to clean up beaches and shorelines, you can prevent marine debris from harming manatees and their habitats.
