Florida's iconic manatees are facing a crisis. More than 800 of them died last year, many from starvation.

Stretching from the Everglades to the Panhandle is land called the Florida Wildlife Corridor, and it's made up of national parks, state forests, waterways and ranches.

Recently, our Local 10 Eco Hero team ventured into wild Florida, and that's where our Eco Hero winner, 13-year-old Sienna Robertson, met a unique South Florida man with a passion for the Florida Everglades.

The Eco-Hero contest is open only to Florida residents within the Miami-Dade and Broward County viewing area.
