Exploring how manatees breath, eat see, hear, smell, and digest their food helps us to understand how they have evolved and successfully adapted to heavily developed urban environments. With the decline of manatees available to study, however, scientists have been prompted to use computer models to fashion a picture of the population's dynamics. So, its easy to see that lovers of manatees have a huge task at hand to save these blubbery balls of peace and serenity. Under current global conditionas, the extinction of all members of the manatee family is a distinct possibility by the end of the century. Although efforts are underway, more help from the public is needed.
Public education is critical to the survival of the manatee.
People need to lend monetary help to organizations helping to sustain and increase the manatee population. In the end, we will conserve only what we love.
