Marine Mammal Fund

As you may know already, the focus of our FWC Marine Mammal Research Program is conservation research designed to provide timely information for protecting Florida manatees. Understanding the population trends and biology of manatees is of fundamental importance to recovery efforts. Staff biologists conduct studies to evaluate how the Florida manatee population is doing in terms of abundance, mortality, health, available habitat, and behavior. Results from studies are used to assess factors that affect species recovery, evaluate management actions, and develop regional management plans and actions.

It is a big job. So we are asking you to join in supporting our Manatee initiatives. Working together we can make a difference, today and tomorrow.
