Wonders of Water: A March Celebration of Manatees

Coconut Telegraph

SRQ DAILY

SATURDAY MAR 7, 2020 |

This year, The Bishop Museum of Science and Nature is exploring all of Florida's watery finery during Wonders of Water, a celebration of everything that's wet and wonderful about our state, planet and universe. 

This month, they'll be taking a deep dive into manatee awareness as we celebrate Manatee Appreciation Day on Wednesday, March 25, with bonus Manatee Appreciation Day activities on Saturday, March 28.

The Bishop has been doing manatee rehabilitation since 1998 and the Museum was a founding partner of the Manatee Rescue and Rehabilitation Partnership— a cooperative group of nonprofit, private, state and federal organizations that participate in manatee population management or manatee rescue and rehabilitation. The Bishop has cared for over 42 manatees.

They'll be offering special take-home manatee activities for kids — paper-bag puppets and coloring pages — along with extended presentations focused on manatee rehabilitation and awareness.
