Be 'Manatee Aware'
Manatees, often called the gentle giants of the sea, can grow up to 13 feet long and weigh as much as 3,500 pounds. These adorable creatures feed on seagrass and other aquatic plants, consuming up to 9% of their body weight daily.
Highly social animals, manatees communicate using squeaks, chirps, and whistles. Scientists studying them can often identify individuals by unique scars, usually caused by boat propellers. To help protect manatees, many Florida counties have established slow-speed zones to reduce boating accidents. Following posted waterway signs and avoiding shallow areas with seagrass while boating are essential for their safety.
For those hoping to see these fascinating animals in person, respectful observation is key. Manatees are highly sensitive to cold in the winter and can become stressed by loud noises or sudden movements. The best way to appreciate them is from a distance, allowing them to move freely in their natural habitat. Frequent close encounters with paddlers can reduce their natural caution around boats, increasing the risk of injury from motorized vessels. Keeping a safe distance ensures their well-being while allowing for an unforgettable wildlife experience.
