endangered species. The facility is concerned with rescuing as well as
preserving the manatees and their environment.
Boat Tour
Leaving your Miami Van Rental in the parking lot you can experience the
manatees from a tour boat. The boat excursion on the Orange River give you a
great opportunity to observe these magnificent sea mammals in their natural
habitat. In winter they prefer the warm waters of the Orange River as Manatees
are susceptible to cold and in cooler water temperatures will develop bumps
similar to frost bite on their sensitive skin. Embarking on your tour please
remember the hats, sunglasses, cameras and sunscreen that you packed into your
Miami Van Rental New York City To Florida, also your cooler if you want to bring
one.
Manatee Facts
These massive sea creatures grow to 800 pounds and require at least 32 pounds
of food per day. As herbivores (vegetarians) the manatees dine on sea lettuce
and sea grasses as well as other sea plants. They appear to graze on the sea
gardens similar to cattle grazing in a pasture. Perhaps that is why they are
also referred to as sea cows. When first observed by Christopher Columbus men,
the sailors were convinced that they were seeing the half-fish, half-man
creatures of the sea.
Since the manatees are threatened by cold waters during the winter months
they search for warmer spots. These locations can be the warm water springs
along the Florida shoreline. Electrical power plants send warm water into the
inland channels, which are havens for the manatees. They are slow Van Rentals
mammals swimming approximately 32 kilometers an hour. They really cannot get out
of the way of speeding motorboats.
Manatee Protection
The state of Florida is and has been greatly concerned with the welfare of
this natural treasure. Laws have been passed to ensure their safety. The Florida
Manatee Sanctuary Act lets the state name certain areas as manatee sanctuaries
and establish speed limits for boaters. In winter months at the Crystal River
refuge boater, swimmers and divers are denied access because the manatees gather
there at that time. If anyone is found to have slain or harmed a manatee he/she
is subject to a $500 fine.
Educational Programs
Manatee World has designed great programs to explain the manatees and their
life cycle. It also encourages becoming caretakers of these wonderful sea
creatures. Videos and slide presentations along with puppets help explain the
manatees.
Gift Shop
After an exciting and informative be sure to visit the gift shop where you
find books on the manatee, videos and other informational materials. There are
great souvenirs such as tee shirts and inflatable manatee to float in your own
pool at home. You can easily stow these in your Fort Meyers
