Manatees need our help to survive. These iconic animals face significant threats including boat strikes, red tides, the loss of seagrass and warm-water refuges, and more. Mote Marine Laboratory scientists provide a trusted source of data for manatee conservation at the state and federal levels, while educating people about how to protect manatees.
You can help manatees by supporting Mote’s Manatee Conservation Research Program. Mote is an independent, nonprofit research institution whose mission is buoyed by donors who care about marine wildlife.
