Adding some ✨Manatee Magic✨ to your Monday.

DYK Manatee Season officially lasts until April? Gone is the 'cool' weather, but we still see manatees occasionally - Slow down, and keep an eye out for these chubby mermaids!

Have you ever seen such a cute snoot?

Manatees are mammals which means they have to come to the surface for air. Wearing polarized sunglasses is the best way to spot them in the water💦

thespringstate It's gotten to the point where I flinch at the first glance of manatee photos in my feed because I'm afraid I'm about to see another dead one. We all love to see manatees in the springs, but it's important to make sure their main habitat is healthy too - coastal areas, lagoons, tidal rivers, canals, etc. So much excess nutrients getting into water all over the state, feeding algae blooms and amplifying them to the point where nothing can live there - it's heartbreaking.

Wildlife Wednesday 🧜‍♀️

Manatee photo 💣💦

Rainy days keep the crowds at bay and bring the manatees out to play 🧜‍♀️

Clearly we love Manatee Mondays on the Weeki Wachee🧜‍♀️

Magical things are bound to happen at Weeki Wachee Springs! ✨🧜‍♀️⁠

Fun fact: Manatees can swim up to 20 miles per hour in short bursts, but typically they only swim about three to five miles per hour.⁠

While interning at Gulf Marine Repair in Tampa, Kyle Oliver '22 took a road trip to Weeki Wachee Springs where he visited “Hospital Hole”, a place where pods of manatees hang out during the cold weather. This freshwater spring extends 140 feet deep and produce warm freshwater for the manatees.

Who doesn't love "seacows," the potato-shaped sirens of the sea?⁠
⁠
Next time you're out exploring Florida's amazing springs, rivers and waterways, remember:⁠
⁠
💠 Always look out for manatees, especially while boating (a pair of polarized sunglasses can help you see them more easily).⁠
⁠
💠 Be aware of waterways, speed zones, and shallow areas.⁠
Manatees swim an average of three to five miles per hour, making it difficult for them to escape boaters.⁠
⁠
💠 Give manatees space. Even though manatees might seem friendly, petting or harassing them can change their behavior and lead to more health risks. Manatees are listed as a threatened species and are legally protected.⁠
⁠
Check out the link in bio for more ways you can help manatees and where to spot them on #FLAdventureCoast.⁠

It’s #ManateeAppreciationDay and we wanted to share this beautiful image recently photographed in our spring by our very own, Mermaid Brittany. #weekiwachee #florida #manatee

If you must have a Social Gathering make sure it’s of the acceptable kind like pictured here. These manatees were hanging out in my canal for a couple hours so I thought I would introduce my pug to some animals of his same stature.

“It’s looking at me” - Adventures on the Weeki Wachee River kitkatflowers_18 making a new friend. While taking a break from paddling a group of 6 manatees came right by us heading fast upriver. This one stopped, approached slowly towards us on the shoreline, and then continued on its way. 👀 #manatee #visitflorida #weekiwacheeriver
