DESCRIPTION:

Manatees are marine mammals resembling the combination of a seal and a walrus. These gentle giants inhabit rivers, canals, saltwater bays, estuaries, and coastal areas along the southeastern United States. They spend the winter in Florida and migrate north to Virginia and Texas in the summer months. The advent of power boats, which often collide with the animals coupled with overhunting in the past for their meat, oil, and hides, has placed the manatee on the Endangered Species List.

In 1972, the manatee was designated a marine mammal protected under the Federal Marine Mammal Protection Act. By 1979 then governor of Florida Bob Graham declared November Manatee Awareness Month, thus authorizing the first state-designated protection zones for the marine mammal. In 1980 the US Congress followed suit with a $100,000 allocation to the Marine Mammal Commission and the development of the initial Federal Manatee Recovery Plan by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
