Manatee Calf Swimming with His Mother

“There are three manatee species worldwide – West Indian, West African, and Amazonian. All three are listed as vulnerable to extinction. Manatees continue to face many threats, including collisions with boats, habitat loss and degradation, fishing gear entanglement, human harassment, exposure to red tide and other harmful algal blooms, and climate change. The greatest long-term threat is the loss of warm water habitat.”
