Manatee Sticker

Premium Vinyl Sticker of Manatee

🌊🐄 Affectionately called “sea cows,” manatees are large herbivorous mammals that live in shallow and marshy coastal areas.

🌊🐄 Their gentle, curious nature can cause them to approach boats, leading to dangerous and often fatal collisions.

🌊🐄 Manatees are often killed via bycatch as an effect of poor fishing practices.

🌊🐄 Their habitat is threatened by coastal development taking over the shallow waters in which they feed and sleep.

🌊🐄 Another threat manatees face is the pollution of their nutritious sea grass from agricultural run-off that contaminates coastal ecosystems.

🌊🐄 Manatees are an important part of their ecosystem, helping ensure vegetative balance and serving as indicators of the system’s health.

🌊🐄 There are many efforts being taken to save the manatees from management plans to public policies to rehabilitation centers.
