The manatee's story is a heart-breaking one. Although manatees have been peacefully swimming in Florida's waters for over a million years, human activities have put them at a high risk of extinction. Collisions with boats is the number one cause of manatee deaths and the greatest threat to their long-term survival. Please join our life-saving efforts to help the endangered manatees. Feature our PSAs in your publication and share our conservation message with your many readers. Funds from the Adopt-A-Manatee program go toward efforts to help protect manatees and their habitat.
