The MRP was established in 2001 and is a group of partners focused on rescuing, rehabilitating and releasing manatees.

Always make sure to report sick, injured or beached manatees to the FWC Wildlife Alert Hotline at 1-888-404-3922 and do not try to push the manatees back into the water.

Turn your volume 🆙

The sound of that “whoosh” could mean a manatee is nearby. Manatees surface to breathe every three to five minutes!

As they migrate to warmer waters, please remember:
🫸Keep your distance
⚠️Follow all manatee protection zones when boating
🚫 Don’t touch or feed

When you go fishing, there is an abundance of wildlife to see both on land & in the water.

While working on the Wakulla River, our biologists are frequently visited by curious manatees. Manatees are native to Florida & were federally reclassified to threatened in May of 2017. As they can be found in many of our waterways, take care to protect this imperiled species.

Did you know that some manatees are ultimately deemed non-releasable?
At the @ColumbusZoo, due to the severity of her injuries, Stubby is considered conditionally non-releasable, but plays an incredibly important role as a “surrogate mother” to other manatees undergoing rehab.
