Support for manatees on the Indian River Lagoon:
Support for manatees on the Indian River Lagoon:From November 27, 2026, our own field team and our volunteers will support licensed manatee rescue teams on the Indian River Lagoon in Florida through the cold months. We provide rescue transport support, veterinary supplies and care supplies for manatees in rehabilitation, and our volunteers clear discarded fishing line and litter from the lagoon shoreline, while only licensed and authorized rescue teams and veterinarians handle and treat the manatees. An Unusual Mortality Event linked to the loss of seagrass in the Indian River Lagoon began in December 2020 and its investigation is ongoing, and manatees need water warmer than 68 degrees Fahrenheit to survive long cold spells. We work in close coordination with the local authorities.
