Remember guys , it's all about the temp. It's been a pretty long warm spell. You're more likely to see more people than manatees at the springs. They're out all over the bay and even some starting down river. It's spring break starting now and the holiday weekend. People will out number manatees till everything gets back to normal. It's been a good winter for them this year. They needed a break from the winter we had last year. Plenty of warm spells to get farther from the springs to forage. The beginning of the winter looked like less total forage over the bay than the start of last winter. Should be a more normal mortality this year.
