manatee. The Florida manatee is the larger of the two.
While the underwater grazing mammals generally grow NATURE
to about 10-12 feet in length and weigh between 1,000
and 1,200 pounds, individuals have been found that are
longer than 15 feet and weigh more than 3,000 pounds.

All that bulk is sustained by a delicate diet of seagrass
here and elsewhere, or at least it was, until most of the
seagrass in the Indian River lagoon was killed off by a
series of destructive algae blooms several years ago.

Recently manatees in the lagoon have died from eating
toxic seaweed when no seagrass was available.

Despite threats posed by boats and pollution, manatees
still inhabit the Indian River Lagoon in large numbers,
adding to the waterway’s unique ecology and status as
one of the most biodiverse estuaries in the United States.

While people in many places might go a lifetime without
seeing one of these extraordinary animals, residents of
the barrier island are privileged to see them frequent-
ly. They vie with bottlenose dolphins for the title of the
most charismatic megafauna in the lagoon. Hopefully,
their presence here and people’s desire to preserve them
will help spur action reverse the decline of the lagoon
and restore it to ecological health.
