| Summary: | The manatee project at Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute was established in 2009. Land-based observations and photo-identification techniques have been used over the last seven years. This has allowed observers to recognize specific resident manatees that visit this location season after season. The photographs have been shared with the Manatee Photo- Identification System database and several matches were found, indicating some of the manatees are migrants. This project focuses on the seasonal patterns of frequently observed manatees in the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute channel. Knowing which manatees are residents allows observers to preliminarily identify specific individuals that will be part of a future acoustic tagging project. | |
