Researchers monitor manatees by using tracking devices.
The tracking device is a transmitter encased in a floating tube. The tag assembly doesn't harm the manatee or affect their freedom of movement, and it is designed to come off if it gets entangled. Researchers have been able to record some interesting manatee movements because of the telemetry program. He has been known to head north when all the other manatees are heading south.
