Springing Into Action

It’s hard to believe we’re already talking about spring when we’ve just wrapped up some of the biggest manatee festivals of the year—some of which truly felt like winter! With cold fronts still lingering, manatees continue to seek shelter in their warm-water refuges, and our incredible Volunteer Mana-team has been out every weekend making a difference. Through our combined efforts in outreach and fundraising, we’ve connected with more people than ever before and raised vital funds to support manatee conservation. This incredible impact wouldn’t be possible without the generosity of our volunteers, who dedicate their time and energy to protecting manatees and inspiring others to take action.

Get Involved: Volunteer Opportunities This Spring

As we welcome the renewal of spring, we have several exciting ways for you to get involved:

• Community Events & Festivals: Help us engage new supporters and raise funds at events across Florida.
• Educational Outreach: Share your passion for manatees by educating students and the public about manatees and our conservation efforts.
• Fieldwork & Habitat Cleanups: Take part in hands-on activities like beach and park cleanups to protect manatee habitat.
