Earlier this month, ZooTampa at Lowry Park, Clearwater Aquarium, Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, and our staff responded to a thin manatee entrapped in a retention pond. The manatee was successfully rescued and taken to SeaWorld for rehabilitation.

'Volunteering for SMC is fun & rewarding. I believe the first step is education & because I am a former educator, this is the best way I can help.'

April is #SpringsProtectionAwarenessMonth
When visiting a spring make sure to Paddle Like a Pro!
Stop paddling when manatees are nearby and let them pass. Avoid unnecessary splashing and don't chase after manatees.
