After 25 Years, Club’s Plate Still Full
By Judith Vallee, Executive Director
T
his year marks Save the Manatee Club’s 25th anniversary! The Club was started
in 1981 by singer/songwriter Jimmy Buffett and then Florida governor, Bob
Graham, to raise awareness about the endangered manatee. I think it’s very
safe to say that most Americans had never heard of a manatee back then. One
of our major accomplishments over our 25-year history has been raising the manatee’s
profile so that now many people from around the globe are aware of the manatee and its
plight. Through the Club’s
adoption programs, people
who have never had the
opportunity to actually see
a manatee in the wild have
been able to get up-close
and personal. People are
absolutely passionate about
them, one way or the other.
And while the vast majority
loves them, not everyone
feels the same way!
Just what about this
gentle, playful, and
altogether unique animal
brings out the best in some
people and the worst in
others? For starters, the
Club has been successful in
winning manatee protection
regulations. Some see these

regulations as impediments to the development of Florida’s fragile coastline or to operating
their boats as fast as they want in crowded inland waterways. If you’ve ever watched a
manatee placidly gliding through the water, happily munching on sea grasses, or humorously
doing barrel rolls in the warm currents of a spring run, it’s almost impossible to believe
these docile animals are at the epicenter of so many controversies.
Now is a pivotal time for manatee protection, with existing regulations under fire and
no new protections on the table. Unmistakably, agency management decisions are not being
made based on the best available science. This is evidenced by the fact that manatees face
downlisting at the state and possibly the federal levels (see article on page 4). Also, the
Endangered Species Act could be substantially weakened in Congress this year, and manatees
may be excluded from the protections of the federal Marine Mammal Protection Act.
The marine industries and development community will continue their full-speed push
to increase waterway access for boats in the next Florida legislative session while at the
same time lobbying to roll back existing manatee protective regulations, such as boat
speed zones. Decision-makers are buying into industry rhetoric that there is a huge statewide
need for more docks. However, information is grossly lacking on whether or where
this need really exists.
In the last five years, 1,682 manatees have died in Florida from all causes (this includes
396 in 2005). Of those, 398 are known to have been killed by watercraft (including 80
in 2005). Clearly, this is not the time for the agencies to be taking any action that could
reduce protections. Rather, the agencies should be doing everything possible to ensure
the long-term survival of this beloved species.
During its 25 years of operation, Save the Manatee Club has achieved much and won
innumerable protections for manatees (go to www.savethemanatee.org/Accomplishments_
1997-2005.pdf for highlights of our accomplishments). But as manatee advocates, we can’t
rest on our laurels. Before we can give ourselves a pat on the back for a job well done, we

to win, and the Club’s plate continues
to be full.
On behalf of our Board of
Directors and our hard-working
hough the importance
of saving species seems
lost on this generation
of conservative lawmakers,
it was deeply appreciated
32 years ago when Congress overwhelmingly
passed the Endangered
Species Act.
They understood that man’s very
existence depends on the planet’s
biodiversity. The act protects that
diversity by authorizing conservation
measures for listed species, including
preserving critical habitat on
public and private property. Florida
has a similar list of plants and animals
that warrant state protections.
and dedicated staff, my heartfelt
thanks for your support – and even
more than that – thanks so much
for caring!

The act’s successes are evident –
more than 7,600 pairs of bald eagles
in the lower 48 states today compared
to 417 pairs when it was
enacted; whooping cranes thriving
in the Midwest, condors soaring
over California, sea turtles returning
to nest on Florida beaches. But
that hasn’t stopped well-organized
attempts to cripple the federal act
or the state protections, attempts
that are gaining momentum with
an unsuspecting public’s support.
Neither Congress nor the state
of Florida should be watering down
their de-listing criteria. The state
has already done that and in June

funds for Club programs.
will use the weaker criteria to decide
whether to remove manatees from
its endangered list. That would
likely lead to a similar de-listing
by the federal government. The
stability of the sea cow population
is in serious doubt.
Changing the rules to make
a species look more sustainable
than it is defeats the intent of
Congress in 1973.
It is obvious that 2006 will
be a critical year for protecting
endangered and threatened species.
At the moment, it’s not looking
good for the plants or the critters.

On The Move In Tampa Bay
By Suzanne Tarr, Volunteer
Winter has officially arrived, if for
just a moment, in southwest Florida.
After a balmy December, temperatures
finally took a dip in January.
In Tampa Bay, manatee numbers
typically increase during the early
winter months, as they move away
from summer haunts and migrate
closer to warm water refuges.
Vector is usually one of the first
to drop in at a warm water site, so
I was not surprised to hear that he
was the first adoptee to be spotted
this season. In early November,
Vector visited the Culbreath Key
area known for its lush sea grass
beds that manatees feed on year
round. The week of Thanksgiving,
he was observed on the other side
of the Bay’s bridge at the Florida
Progress Bartow power plant in
St. Petersburg, along with another
adoptee, Flicker.
Flicker spent several days at this
protected federal sanctuary in late
November and early December.
Demonstrating her extensive use
of the Bay, before visiting Bartow,
Flicker was spotted in a non-winter
“hot spot,” Coffeepot Bayou, and
after hanging out at Bartow, she
was photographed across the Bay
at Tampa Bay’s largest aggregation
site, TECO’s Big Bend power plant.
Elsie also checked in at TECO
the second week of December. I
expect Vector to show up at TECO
soon enough, as he has been photographed
there annually for over
a decade.
Not to be forgotten and farther
to the south, Ginger was spotted
with a calf in September in the Marco
Island area. This winter, she has
been photographed at Lee County
Manatee Park, a warm water site
fed by Florida Power & Light
Company’s power plant warm
water discharge in Fort Myers.
While I’m glad that most of our
adoptees (Jemp is the lone hold out)
are accounted for, I must end on a
cautionary note. This winter has
been unseasonably warm so far,
meaning that manatees usually at
the warm water aggregation sites,
or very close to them, may be more
dispersed and in areas that boaters
may not expect to see them this time
of year. While boating, please be
vigilant and aware because manatees
are sharing the waterways with
you! For tips on how to be a safer
boater in manatee habitat and other

A Manatee Baby
At Blue Spring
Could Be Named
After You
Have you ever dreamed of
having a real baby manatee
named after you (or someone
you love – think of what a
wonderful present that would
make)? Well this is a dream that
Photo © Walker Stanberry
can come true! To commemorate
the Club’s 25th Anniversary,
we are holding a first-time-ever donation drawing called A Manatee Is My Namesake. The donation drawing starts
now and will run through Manatee Awareness Month 2006 (November 30, 2006).
The only qualification to enter the drawing is that your Save the Manatee Club membership must be active.
Lapsed members or non-members are not eligible to enter the donation drawing. Just fill out the form below
and send it to us with your donation of $10 per name.
This is how it works:
One of the baby manatees born at Blue Spring State Park during the 2006/2007 winter season will be named after
you (or someone you love) if your entry is drawn. The baby manatee will then become part of our Blue Spring
manatee adoption program.* The calf’s biography will include information about you and you will be mentioned
on our website and in our newsletters.
You will have the great satisfaction of knowing that:
• a real manatee calf living in the wild is named after you
• many people from around the globe will adopt the calf (who will be the youngest adoptee we’ve ever had),
so you’ll be helping to enlist even more people to support manatee protection.*
• much-needed funds to protect manatees will be raised for the Club (a portion of the proceeds will be donated to
Blue Spring State Park for their manatee protection efforts).
* Sometimes, it is difficult to identify manatee calves as they grow up in the wild. The calf will become part of the
adoption program if he/she is able to be identified and there is enough information so that members can follow along.

Shamefully, State Poised To Downlist
O
n January 20, the Florida
Fish & Wildlife Conservation
Commission
(FWCC) issued a
press release stating their manatee
biological review panel is recommending
the manatee for downlisting
at the state level from endangered
to threatened.
You will remember that a state
biological review of the manatee is
being conducted because of a petition
from a recreational angler’s group
opposed to boat speed restrictions.
Last year, the FWCC adopted
state listing/delisting criteria for
imperiled species so stringent that
manatees would have to undergo
or be at risk of undergoing an 80%
decline in population before they
could be listed as endangered in
Florida. The panel’s review of the
manatee’s status was conducted using
only these highly flawed criteria.
Further, the state is adopting
imperilment categories based on the
World Conservation Union’s (IUCN)
standards for listing species, but
refusing to use IUCN’s corresponding
terminology for each category.
For example, the FWCC uses the
IUCN’s criteria for “endangered”
but then labels them as “threatened.”
In June, the panel’s recommendation
goes before the FWCC
Commission. Manatees will be
downlisted regardless of how they
are actually faring in the wild
because of tremendous pressure
from special interest groups.
Last year was the second worst
year on record for manatee mortality.
Just in the last five years, 1,682
manatees have died from all causes
in Florida waters. That is almost
an 18% increase over the previous
five-year period. Further, in the last
five years, 398 manatees were killed
by boats. That’s a 17% increase
over the previous five-year period!
Please contact Florida Governor
Jeb Bush to oppose the manatee’s
downlisting by going to www.save
themanatee.org/actionalert.cfm?id=
12 and sending an online letter.
Please also call his office at
850-488-4441. Many thanks!

Winter Season, Reporting For Roll Call
Blue Spring Update, by Ranger Wayne Hartley
DEEP DENT HAS RETURNED!!
He was in on December 12th. I
knew it was Deep Dent but took
special care to look him all over
to be sure. In the past two years of
absence, Deep Dent has not changed
one observable bit. He has no new
deep dents!
The season started without me
as I had gone to Texas to see my
youngest son before he departed
for Iraq. I estimated the season
started on October 28th. They were
not supposed to be in so early!
So far this year, we have at least
250 different manatees we have
seen in the Run. This is a new
record over last year’s record 200.
Speaking of records, I had an official
count of 145 on January 8th.
Last season’s record count was
129. We have seventeen calves
this season; so far, it is very hard to
sort the calves out in such a crowd!
Not a record but plenty of calves.
Many animals are not marked
(unscarred). Perhaps regulations to
protect them are working, although
offhand, I can still think of six manatees
terribly injured this summer.

Walker Stanberry.
Other than a few scratches that
could have been from a tree, rock or
dock, I have observed no new marks
on the adoptees. The big days for
return to Blue Spring for the winter
weather were November 26th with
six, and December 12th with four.
Brutus was back on December 13th
but didn’t stay around much. Dana
is recorded as coming in on
December 22nd, still nursing her
one year old, Ditch. She is marked
but such a good healer that the scar
is easy to miss in the crowds we
had. Doc was back on December
26th and is in a lot. Flash made it in

Rampant Growth Threatens Spring’s Future
By Sandra Clinger, East Coast Florida Regional Coordinator
T
he St.
Johns
River
Water
Management District
(SJRWMD) released
its updated report
and recommended
minimum flow
proposal for Blue
Spring, which is
the winter home
of most of our
manatee adoptees.
Disappointingly, the
proposal continues
to allow groundwater
withdrawals to
reduce spring flow
up to 16% of the
average annual flow rate and would
reduce the currently available warm
water refuge area for manatees by
37% under catastrophic conditions.
Less flow from the spring means less
warm water available for manatees.
The district’s proposal doesn’t
recommend the flow to be restored
Facts Should Matter
By Patrick M. Rose, Director of Government Relations
Will the facts matter to the
Florida Legislature when the big
money interests press for changes
in the coastal development permitting
process to make even
more money faster?
Although the facts would tell
you that development permits (for
marinas, docks, and boat ramps)
on Florida’s waterfronts are being
processed and approved at nearly
frantic rates, one thing we can be
sure of this session is that dock
builders and developers will be
lobbying for an even more streamlined
process that will get them
their permits in record time. Sea
grasses, fisheries, manatees, and
water quality all suffer when the
agencies charged to assess the
adverse impacts of proposed
projects are not provided the
appropriate time or resources to
properly evaluate and mitigate
for these impacts.
Both state and federal laws

to present levels until 2024. The
data the SJRWMD used in its model
knowingly under-estimates manatee
use at Blue Spring, which benefits
developers wanting maximum
ground water withdrawals.
If the proposed minimum flow
is adopted by the state, it could
require that in addition to evaluating
the individual impacts of each
proposed project, the cumulative
impacts of existing and future projects
also need to be considered. Unfortunately
this is not happening.
Decision-makers really don’t want
to know just how badly the impacts
from all of these projects are affecting
the quality of our waterways
because then they would have to
address the problems.
Will the facts matter? I really
doubt it so long as most lawmakers
are influenced by political contributions
more than their responsibility
to the public trust.
To end on a positive note, I
want to applaud Florida Senate
President Tom Lee for having the
great courage to seek a ban on
lobbyists’ gifts and for his efforts
on other reforms. Special thanks
also to Florida House Speaker
Allan Bense for working to make
it a reality.

A Helping Hand For The Girls At Homosassa
By Park Ranger Kenneth Torres
H
omosassa Springs
Wildlife State Park
would like to thank
Save the Manatee Club
for funding a large manatee stretcher
including stretcher poles and crane
sling. The Club’s funding will
also include purchasing a blood
centrifuge. This equipment will
greatly help with the husbandry
of our captive manatees during
routine physicals.
There has been a recent upgrade to
visitor manatee educational services.
Park Ranger Matt Robinson installed
a new closed circuit camera in the
underwater observatory, so that visitors
can stay up top and view the
manatees and fish on a monitor, if
they choose not to, or cannot, go
below in the underwater observatory.
Now onto news about our manatees:
Rosie is our largest manatee.
She is 11 feet 8 inches long and
weighs approximately 3200 pounds!
The new manatee stretcher is
designed in her honor. Rosie has
been enjoying sleeping by the Park’s
Long River Bridge.
Lorelei is very predictable.
She never misses an educational
program or a feeding. She likes
to swim around the spring run
during the day.
Amanda is still the show
stopper. Our visitors take
pleasure in watching her splash
the water with her head to receive
her vitamins in the morning.
Betsy spends most of the
time in the shallow water sunning
herself in front of the west
entrance observation area, she
shows up for some of the programs
and is always ready for
her feeding in the morning and
afternoon.
At our educational programs,
Ariel is one of the most active manatees.
She is always ready for more
food and she’s adopting Amanda’s
behavior of splashing with her head.
During their cold weather aerial
surveys, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife
Service counted 90 to 100+ manatees
on average in the “Blue Waters”

area adjacent to our park. Our
Manatee Watch Volunteers were
out there daily in kayaks educating
visitors about manatees.
Park Ranger Kenneth Torres
has been with the Florida Park
Service in Wildlife Care since
2001. He has broad experience
with manatee husbandry.
Don’t forget to visit the Park.
You can observe the manatees
there year-round.
Protect Manatees For Tomorrow
Please consult your attorney for information on including Save the Manatee Club in your will.
You’ll have the satisfaction of knowing that support of manatees will be sustained
through your thoughtful bequest. Many thanks!

on December 13th. Floyd was
December 7th. Howie is in a
lot. His first appearance was on
December 8th. Lenny has been in
several times since November 26th.
Lilly also made her first appearance
that day. She has not had a calf
since Lawton in 2002. Lucille however,
in on December 12th, has a
calf every other year like clockwork.
She has another calf this year.
Merlin was back the same day as
Lucille but after a few days hasn’t
been back since. Nick was also in
that day but has stayed around.
Paddy Doyle likes to hang out and
was in the November 26th group.
Phillip was in as of December 7th.
Phyllis came in on December 26th
without her calf, Biker. I am beginning
to think she weans her calves
after five to seven months! I didn’t
think calves nursed less than a
year. Robin was in as of December
7th, still moving up and down the
Run a lot. Margarito was with the
November 26th crowd. Whiskers
made the December 12th date and
is nearly always in front of the
observation dock. I find him sleeping
instead of storming around getting
into whatever is happening, as he
did in the past.

Club Takes Action On Port
By Patti Thompson, Director of Science and Conservation
As reported in our November 2005 newsletter, the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (Corps) is involved in a huge project to “improve” the Port of
Miami in Dade County, Florida. The deepening and widening of the channels
leading into the port haven’t yet begun. This phase will have the most impacts
on manatees and their habitat. The expansion includes 1,500 days of underwater
blasting.
Previous work involved some blasting and dredging at the port on a much
smaller scale and resulted in fish kills and violations of water quality in
Biscayne Bay, which is a federally designated critical habitat for manatees.
If the Corps deems the expansion project a success, blasting will become the
normal method for deepening and widening all ports along Florida’s coastline.
For all these reasons, Save the Manatee Club, Tropical Audubon Society,
The Humane Society of the United States, Defenders of Wildlife, and Miami
Beach Rod & Reel Club have filed a sixty-day notice letter of intent to sue
the federal agencies involved in the permit. The ball is now in their court.
We will keep you updated about the status of this issue on the web and in
future newsletters.
