Welcome to the Manatee Rehabilitation Partnership

MRP Success Stories

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. did great and on April 26, 2012, Sea to Shore Alliance removed his monitoring equipment! Safe travels, C.C.! Photo courtesy of D.Schrichte.

Annie manatee and calf at Blue Springs State Park

Annie and her new calf rolled into Blue Spring State Park on June 10, 2012. Annie was rescued in 2005 as an orphaned calf and released in 2008 at Blue Spring. 

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