Happy Manatee Awareness Day!

Today we’re shining a spotlight on Florida’s gentle giants, the manatees! These peaceful plant-eaters spend their days gliding through our waterways, munching on seagrass, and playing a vital role in keeping aquatic ecosystems healthy and thriving. 🌱

Want to help protect manatees? Here’s how you can make a difference:
🛥️ Observe posted speed limits in manatee zones, slow boats save lives!
🚮 Keep waterways clean and free of trash. Every bit helps.
👀 Give manatees plenty of space when viewing them in the wild, admire from a distance and let them be wild.

Let’s celebrate these remarkable animals and do our part to keep their waters safe and healthy for generations to come! 💙
