MIAMI – A manatee mystery has South Florida officials scratching their heads after one of the gentle sea cows was found dead. “I came over here and I see this giant manatee without a head,” Mahomar told Local 10. “Salinity control structures closing on manatees was the second leading cause of deaths of manatees in the state of Florida,” said Silverstein. Now, as those gates are closing, if it detects the presence of a manatee those gates are supposed to stop. That leads to a question of whether those sensors were working at the time the manatee Mahomar found was crushed.

ISLAMORADA, Fla. – An orphaned infant manatee was rescued Saturday after being spotted by homeowners that there was something beneath underwater rocks along their dock. The Dolphin Research Center’s (DRC) Manatee Rescue Team and volunteers with Dolphins Plus Marine Mammal Responder unit assisted the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Committee to corral the calf with netting. They then successfully scooped the manatee from the water using a large hoop net. They did not know why the calf separated from her mom. On Sunday afternoon, a Seaquarium veterinarian said the manatee was in “guarded condition.”After evaluation and treatment, she was placed in a pool with an older orphaned female manatee.

PLANTATION KEY, Fla. – A manatee was rescued over the weekend by Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officers with the help of local citizens, authorities said. FWC Officer Bobby Dube said several people spotted the manatee in the water off a dock in Plantation Key early Saturday and told officers that the manatee seemed to be in distress and injured. When officers arrived, they noticed that the manatee could not swim or use its left fin. The people who spotted the manatee watched it until the FWC's Manatee Group arrived. BaumGartner operated a boat while the Manatee Group guided the injured manatee into a hoop net and safely loaded him into their transport vehicle.
