Summary

The population of the Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris) has recently faced major environmental impacts that have threatened their numbers and status throughout the state. Necropsies have revealed signs of starvation, relating to the lack of food resources due to persistent algal blooms and cold stress. Persistence of thermal refugia is a current and ongoing concern. Legislatively, management decisions have had positive and negative impacts on scientific research efforts. This project will use a Coupled Human and Natural Systems (CHANS) approach to assess trajectories for anthropogenic and environmental factors affecting the manatee population, by incorporating current research and conservation efforts, relevant environmental [...]
