SUCCESSFUL MANATEE RESCUE! This morning, Dolphin Research Center’s Manatee Rescue Team and the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) rescued a very young manatee in Marathon, FL. The approximately 5-foot male calf was monitored without interference for over 24 hours to determine that he was, in fact, orphaned and not being cared for by an adult manatee. He was evaluated onsite by Dolphin Research Center Veterinarian, Dr. Scott Gearhart and is being transported to SeaWorld Orlando
