Be Aware: Manatees Could Be
There
 As autumn is officially here and waters are cooling,
there is serious concern for manatees who may still be far from
home. Residents living along the Eastern Seaboard and Gulf
of Mexico are reminded to watch for manatees and immediately report sightings to their local wildlife officials or marine law enforcement
office. Go >>

Adopt-A-Manatee® and Get a Free Wall
Calendar
 Many shoppers may be searching high and low for
affordable presents this holiday season, but Tara and John Lulich have

Manatee Club and price is not a concern. An annual manatee adoption

U.S. Go >>

Kayak with Manatees
 Beginning in October, Save the Manatee Club is promoting
kayak tours to see manatees. The ecotours provide an alternative way to
view manatees without disrupting their natural behavior. Participation
in the ecotours will help protect manatees as well. Ten percent of each
tour booked by an SMC member will go toward the
Club's manatee conservation efforts. Read more >>

Once a devoted Blue Spring winter visitor, Troy has gotten
the urge for exploration in mid-life. Go >>

problems in the area, such as boats speeding on the bay, fishermen in
manatee sanctuaries at night, and manatee harassment. Read more >>
