Description
The manatee project at Harbor Branch Oceanographic
Institute was established in 2009. Land-based observations
and photo-identification techniques have
been used over the last seven years. This has allowed
observers to recognize specific resident manatees
that visit this location season after season. The photographs
have been shared with the Manatee Photo-
Identification System database and several matches
were found, indicating some of the manatees are
migrants. This project focuses on the seasonal patterns
of frequently observed manatees in the Harbor
Branch Oceanographic Institute channel. Knowing
which manatees are residents allows observers to
preliminarily identify specific individuals that will be
part of a future acoustic tagging project.
