*Program Description*

The Manatee Research Program studiesseveral aspects of the biology of 
manatees inhabiting the waters of southwestern Florida, including 
population dynamics, population genetics, habitat use, distributional 
patterns and social behavior. Field data and samples are collected using 
photo-identification, aerial surveys, and non-invasive genetic sampling. 
From spring through early fall, photo-identification, genetic, and 
behavioral sampling are conducted primarily in Sarasota and Manatee 
counties.During the winter, field work is conducted primarily in 
Charlotte Harbor and the Ft. Myers area.Aerial surveys are conducted 
twice per month (during the non-winter) in Sarasota County to assess 
relative abundance and distribution of manatees in those waters.The 
long-term database of the program contributes to management and 
conservation measurements for Florida manatees. Additionally, the 
program collaborates with manatee researchers throughout the state of 
Florida and the Caribbean.For more information about, please visit:
