About National Manatee Appreciation and Awareness Month
United States
Ends: Nov 30, 2021
DESCRIPTION:
National Manatee Appreciation and Awareness Month falls in November and was first established in 1979 within Florida, prior to being recognized nationally in 1980.
National Manatee Appreciation and Awareness Month is set aside each year to raise awareness on the plight of the manatees in the wild and to preserve its natural habitat. Manatees are commonly referred to as sea cows; these sea creatures were once mistaken for mermaids.
These gentle giants 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. The advent of power boats, which often collide with the animals and over hunting in the past for their meat, oil and hides has placed the Manatee on the Endangered Species List.
In 1972, the manatee was designated a marine mammal 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.
