A number of dead manatees have recently been reported in the park. Necropsies are inconclusive, but biologists are considering environmental factors such as red tide and cold weather. Our park staff are working closely with FWC biologists to monitor the situation and coordinate an aerial survey. If you see injured, distressed or deceased marine mammals, please call the state's Wildlife Alert hotline 1-888-404-3922(FWCC) or *FWC or #FWC on a cell phone. ----- (Photo Description: Two manatees grazing underwater.)
