Last week the Crystal River Manatee Health Assessments took place and SMC was involved, too! The assessments are performed in order to test the general health of the manatee population in Kings Bay. Manatee health is tested many ways, including through blood work, weight, body temperature, breathing rates, heart rates, ultrasounds, fecal samples, and skin biopsies. The assessments are led by the U.S. Geological Surveys Sirenia Project and include personnel from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the University of Florida, among others.
