Twenty-one manatee who regularly winter at Blue
Spring State Park near Orange City, Florida, have been
chosen as "adoptees" in this program. Blue
Spring's natural spring maintains a year round
temperature of 72° and is an attractive winter refuge
for manatees who seek the spring waters when the
surrounding river water temperatures become too cold.
Each of the animals chosen has a known history and , in
some instances, have been tracked by radiotelemetry by
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services. In addition, you'll
be able to get further information on your manatees
movements by reading the Adoption Update column in the Save the Manatee
Club newsletter.
