Conservation Connect LIVE: Manatee Migration
Like birds and other animals, manatee must migrate to a warmer place during the winter. The favorite areas for manatee to migrate are the beautiful fresh water springs of Florida. Chat with manatee expert Ivan Vicente, from Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge and bring all your questions about these fascinating mammals. Learn what the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is doing to protect this endangered species. You’ll learn about their biology, habits, and what you can do to help keep manatee out of harms way. Join host Louie Ocaranza as we explore the Manatee Migration on Wednesday, January 18 at 2:00pm ET.
