Meet The Man Saving Belizes Manatees, One Baby At A Time At 11 years old, Jamal Galves knew that manatees would be his life. As a child playing the lawn of his grandparents house, he would watch their hulking figures float by, imitating the researchers who trailed behind them. He saw them tagging the massive gray animals, drawing blood samples and even recording their every exhale. Since then, Galves, now aptly known as the manatee man, has made manatees his life. Galves, now the Belize Manatee Project Program Coordinator in his home village of Gales Point Manatee, is still, in his own words, just that kid trying to save manatees. But now hes got a lot more sway than the teenager who was working for free on the researchers boat, cleaning and observing until he finally got a chance to participate.
