Yesterday, the SeaWorld Orlando rescue team received a manatee suffering from a boat strike injury. The manatee was brought to us with the help of our partners at ZooTampa at Lowry Park and MyFWC Florida Fish and Wildlife. Thanks to this collaborative effort, SeaWorld is able to rehab this animal, so that we can return her back to the wild. | SeaWorld

Manatee County’s efforts to preserve and maintain natural habitat are drawing attention from environmentalists and from the native species these preserves are trying to protect. The recent game-cam sightings of a male panther moving through the County’s Duette Preserve have drawn attention to the 22,000-acre oasis for wildlife. Ranger Jerry Miller and District 3 Commissioner Kevin Van Ostenbridge discuss more about the County’s commitment to wildlife conservation. | Manatee County, Florida Gover
