Summary:
Today, manatees are experiencing what scientists call a UME (an unusual mortality event) where some 1000 of them are dying each year; a crisis for a population of only 7000. But citizens in the manatee stronghold of Crystal River have pioneered an approach to restore critical seagrass that now shows promise to help the gentle giants throughout their range.
