  • Manatee Movements in the Northern Gulf of Mexico and the Potential for Exposure to the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill
    Manatee Movements in the Northern Gulf of Mexico and the Potential for Exposure to the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Daniel H. Slone1, James P. Reid1, Allen Aven2 and Ruth H. Carmichael2 1U.S. Geological Survey Southeast Ecological Science Center 7920 N.W. 71st Street Gainesville, FL 32653 2Dauphin Island Sea Lab 101 Bienville Blvd. Dauphin Island, AL 36528 U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey - 1 - MANATEES IN THE NGOM 1 Introduction 2 The West Indian Manatee (Trichechus manatus) is found throughout the coastal waters of the Gulf of 3 Mexico, with the Antillean subspecies (Trichechus manatus manatus) found in Mexico, and the 4 Florida subspecies (Trichechus manatus latirostris) found from Texas through to Florida (Deutsch et 5 al. 2008, Gunter, 1941; Fig. 1). Florida manatees have in recent years been documented in increasing 6 numbers in the northern Gulf of Mexico (NGOM), including Mobile Bay, the Wakulla River, and 7 other water bodies (Fertl et al. 2005, Pabody et al. 2009, Butler et al. 2011). Their habitat and 8 resource use in these areas have not been well documented, but as with other areas, they must access 9 seagrasses or other vegetation for forage, fresh water for drinking, and warm water in the winter for 10 refuge. Recently, oil from the Deepwater Horizon spill has impacted a large area of the NGOM, 11 including seagrass beds and nearshore areas that manatees are likely to use. 12 13 Since 2007, researchers from the USGS Southeast Ecological Science Center have been conducting 14 pilot studies on manatee movements and habitat use in the NGOM to document extent of migrations 15 and determine patterns of habitat use.
