New Manatees Added to the Adoption Program!

Chessie the manatee is spotted in the Chesapeake Bay in Calvert County, Maryland on July 12, 2011. If you look closely, you can see the long, gray scar on his left side that helps to identify him. Chessie was last seen in 2001 at the Great Bridge Locks in Virginia. (Photo courtesy of Hank Curtis.)

Volunteer for Save the Manatee Club!

Manatee Sanctuary Park was the place for music and manatee education during the Space Coast Music Festival held recently in Brevard County. (l-r) Pictured above are longtime Club volunteers Doug and Deb Brown, along with new volunteer Sue Strange, who staffed the Club's booth throughout the day and into the early evening hours, along with Carla and Bryan Wilson. They enjoyed talking to all who strolled up to their table to learn more about the manatees. (Photo by Carla Wilson.)
