What is Manatee Movember?
November is manatee awareness month. Also November is ‘Movember’. Movember is an annual, month-long event involving the growing of moustaches during the month of November to raise awareness of various male cancers.
To help raise awareness to the endangered yet gentle giants, we will be celebrating Manatee Movember to help protect the manatee.
Manatees gained protection under the Endangered Species Act in 1973. While boat accidents remain the leading killer of manatees in Florida, conservation efforts have helped the population rebound in recent years, and there are now about 5,000 manatees thought to live in Florida waters.
Each day will be showing a photo of a ‘Movember Manatee’ along with some trivia!
All mobile app proceeds during Manatee Movember will be donated to a manatee protection charity. Download our iOS, Android or Kindle Fire app today!
