I smiled straight through!I can’t help always looking for Rita and Georgie in Spanish Wells Harbor. I miss them, but think they are definitely in the perfect place!!
Thanks to everyone who made that possible and kept them safe!!
I live on Great Harbour Cay ..at the marina. I watched this release in person..it was done directly across from our house.. It was amazing and I am sure a once in a lifetime experience!! We all need to take great care to see that they are not harmed by their biggest predictor…man and his boat !! Not too much to ask for all of us to SLOW DOWN when entering and exiting the marina. Looking forward to monitoring their progress and continuing to See their progress for years to come. Thank you all for a job well done !!!
We had one sighting last year in Rice Bay at the northeastern tip of San Salvador. Sighting was made by a science teacher and experienced diver. Unfortunately, I never got to see it. Had the privledge of swimming with them in the wild off Belize. They are amazing creatures. Great work to the team that did the rescue and relocation! Thank you for your dedication.
What a JOY to watch this. I enjoyed this immensely. We LOVE manatees and always get excited when we see one here in Florida. Film was beautifully crafted.
I saw one manatee three times just off shore (30-50m) west of Sandals in-front of Towers/Bayroc last Saturday afternoon. Not big more the size of a seal/sealion but had all the attributes of a mammal coming up for air.
