| Manatee Watch Training | |
|
Volunteers will be providing much needed information, including the condition, behavior, and location of the manatee(s) that is sighted. Training on how to document manatee sightings, as well as sketch manatee scarring patterns, will be provided to each volunteer. Volusia County is looking for individuals or groups who want to help preserve one of Florida’s most precious species. This is an excellent opportunity for individuals, families, Scout groups and other civic organizations. Keep watch and save a life! If you or your group would like to
volunteer for Manatee Watch, please fill out the
EnviroNet Volunteer
Application and remember to mark Manatee Watch under
“Fields of Interest”. |

Volusia
County Environmental Management has launched Manatee Watch, an
exciting new volunteer program that focuses on manatee sightings
in the Volusia County area. The manatee is a listed endangered
species and is protected by federal and state laws, and they are
frequently seen in Volusia County. With the help of volunteers, we
can get a better understanding of how manatees are utilizing
Volusia County waterways.back to: manatees natural resources em home
