  • Where Are Florida's Manatees?
    Where are Florida’s manatees? © Susan Lowe, Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park And other interesting facts about Florida’s state marine mammal What are manatees? The West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus) consists of two subspecies: the Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris) and the Antillean manatee (Trichechus manatus manatus). Florida manatees – Florida’s state marine mammal – are native to Florida. The Florida manatee breathes air, just like other mammals. It has a large, tube-shaped body, a flat, round, paddle-shaped tail, two relatively short front flippers and a whiskered face. The average adult manatee is about 10 feet long and weighs approximately 1,200 pounds. Manatees can live more than 65 years; however, among the wild manatees that reach adulthood, only about half are expected to survive into their early 20s. What do manatees eat? Often referred to as “sea cows” because of their grazing habits, manatees are herbivores that eat seagrasses and other species of freshwater floating or submerged aquatic plants. A manatee can consume plant material up to 9 percent of its body weight per day. Protection of aquatic habitats where manatees forage for food benefits not only manatees but many other species as well. Manatees are unique aquatic mammals that live in Florida’s waterways. Terri Calleson, USFWS. Should people give food or water to manatees? Under state and federal law, it is illegal to attract manatees to an area by purposely providing a source of freshwater or by offering food. Besides, manatees lured to unsafe areas may be in greater danger of being struck by vessels in these areas.

I’m pleased that during my tenure, the Board unanimously approved Mote’s 2020 Vision and Strategic Plan, which will guide the Lab and Aquarium’s future research directions and also provides a sustainable path forward that will be supported by new initiatives such as the Legacy Society, which honors those who have included Mote in their estate planning. The time and hard work given by Trustees and staff members on planning for the future has been much appreciated and will no doubt pave the way for a renewed emphasis on conservation and the sustainable use of our natural resources to the benefit of us all. Mote Marine Laboratory is at a critical juncture in its 57-year history. Not only are we embarking on a renewed course forward with a strong foundation and a clear path, but we are also looking forward to an impending change in leadership for the first time in nearly 30 years. In May 2013, Dr. Kumar Mahadevan, who has been leading Mote since his appointment as President and CEO in 1986, will become President Emeritus and Dr. Michael P. Crosby, who has been Mote’s Senior Vice President for Research since 2010, will take the helm.
