About National Manatee Appreciation and Awareness Month
United States
Ends: Nov 30, 2025
DESCRIPTION:
National Manatee Appreciation and Awareness Month falls in November and was established in 1979 in Florida before being recognized nationally in 1980. It raises awareness of the plight of the manatees in the wild and preserves their natural habitat.
Manatees, or sea cows, these gentile giants were once mistaken for mermaids. Manatees inhabit rivers, canals, saltwater bays, estuaries, and coastal areas along the southeastern United States. They spend the winter in Florida and migrate north to Virginia and Texas in the summer months.
Power boats colliding with the animals and overhunting their meat, oil, and hides have placed the manatee on the Endangered Species List. In 1972, the manatee was designated protected under the Federal Marine Mammal Protection Act. By 1979, then-governor of Florida Bob Graham declared November Manatee Awareness Month, thus authorizing the first state-designated protection zones for the marine mammal.
In 1980, the US Congress followed suit with a $100,000 allocation to the Marine Mammal Commission and the development of the initial Federal Manatee Recovery Plan by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
