Manatee rehab and release Posted: 2 years ago by badbud
Sharpie the manatee was injured by fin entanglement and also had boat propeller wounds on his back when he was found. After months of rehab he was returned to the gulf this week. On average only 60 manatees are able to be rescued and rehabilitated every year. There were more than 500 deaths in 2007, more than half due to boating related injuries.
The Florida House recently voted to eliminate the funding that reimburses these
resuce groups, although the Senate has voted to continue funding for these programs.
This is after last years suggestion by the Federal Wildlife Service that sea cows could be downgraded to threatened on the federal endanger species list. The agency has not recommended that step, pending a Florida's wildlife commission population study after much pressure from conservation groups and Gov. Charlie Crist.
There was also a cancellation of this years manatee count due to warm weather and an "overhaul" of the formula they use to determine the count.
