Due to the severe weather in Florida today I was unable to go check in on the manatee as I had planned.
So I came across this article from 1994. It is by Bob Bonde, the co-author of the book:
'The Florida Manatee Biology and Conservation'
If you only read one article on the Florida manatee - this one is it!
Helping Manatees Helps the Planet
Of course you can read my blog and my recent picture and post of Bob Bonde doing his manatee research (that he has been doing for over 25 years, Doug Perrine has pics of Bob from years ago). My blog post is here:
