There have been 42 confirmed watercraft-related manatee deaths through June 5, 2009, with a total of 240 manatee mortalities so far this year. 

These numbers represent the highest total mortality and second highest watercraft mortality documented during this time frame over the last 5 years.

Through public awareness and education, there are many ways that we can work together to help protect this beloved marine mammal for future generations to enjoy.

Save the Manatee Club is the world’s leading nonprofit manatee conservation organization. 

Singer/songwriter Jimmy Buffett and former Florida Governor and U.S. Senator, Bob Graham, founded the organization in 1981.
