Threats to Manateeso #1 human cause of injuries/deaths: Boat
collisions.
o Manatees are slow and need to surface to breathe air, so they are vulnerable.
o Fast boats can’t see them and don’t give them enough time to get out of the way.
o Other threats include entanglement in or ingesting trash; loss of habitat; red tide algal blooms; and natural causes like cold-related disease.

Manatee Identification
o Most living manatees have scars from boat collisions.
o Other scars are from entanglement with fishing lines and ropes, or natural causes like infections that have healed.
o Scientists use these scars to identify individual manatees, give them names, and tell them apart.

How to Help: Boating Tipso Obey posted speed zones and avoid posted manatee
sanctuaries.
o Wear polarized sunglasses to see manatees below the water’s surface. Look for snouts, tails, backs, or “footprints”.
o Stay in deep water channels and avoid seagrass beds.
o Do not feed or give water to manatees. Do not touch, approach, or chase manatees.
o Stash your trash and monofilament line.
