Happy #ManateeAppreciationDay! 🩵 These peaceful "sea cows" may have inspired mermaid legends, but in reality, they spend much of their days grazing on seagrass and floating effortlessly through the water. 🌊🌿 Sadly, Florida manatees continue to face numerous threats, including habitat loss and pollution, the loss of seagrass beds — their primary source of food — and human activities such as boat strikes and entanglements in fishing gear. You can help protect these gentle giants! Symbolically adopt a manatee today, and your donation will support our campaigns to protect manatees and our oceans from some of their biggest threats.
