C.C. was rescued as an orphaned calf in 2006 from the Caloosahatchee River. He was released in March 2009 at Crystal River. After a few months he was returned to captivity. With some recuperation and a little more training, he was released again in 2010 but after a health check that summer we again brought him back. On his third try, in 2011, C.C. appears to be doing great! Photo courtesy of D.Schrichte.

 

The goal of the Manatee Rehabilitation Partnership is to monitor the health and survival of rehabilitated and released manatees.
