Manatee Sighting Blog
I have decided the season ended on March 25, as that was the last day we had a significant number of manatees that were never in a rehabilitation facility. The current manatee count for the season (it may change but not much) is 879 seen, 545 returned from last season, 26 returned from prior seasons, and there were 88 calves. We also estimated seven cow calf pairs that had no scars and 30 unscarred juveniles. It would be unfair to leave out these manatees that cannot be counted in the normal way. All the numbers are records, except for calves which dropped from 93 last season. Save the Manatee Club researchers also had a record count for one roll call of 760.
