Manatee Lagoon: More Than Just a Warm Water Sanctuary

Manatee Lagoon offers a unique opportunity to appreciate manatees, which are often threatened by human activity. To protect these animals, divers and boaters should adhere to no-wake zones to avoid disturbing them in shallow waters. Reducing plastic pollution is crucial, as it endangers all ocean life, including manatees. Additionally, it’s important not to feed or give fresh water to manatees to prevent them from becoming dependent on humans. Lastly, divers should be mindful of seagrass, which is essential for manatees’ diets and also provides habitat for marine life.
