That's about the time we saw them. However, FYI it is illegal to touch manatees: Manatees are an endangered species, protected under the Federal Endangered Species Act. Manatees are also protectedunder the Federal Marine Mammal Protection Act. ... Manatees are also protected under the Florida ManateeSanctuary Act.
We were there yesterday. There were a few around we saw surfaced but when we got on the water they were hard to find.
Yes
There's a population of local manatees that are in the vicinity year round, but the chances of a good encounter lower as the water warms. The best time is the winter when the manatees look for the warmer waters of the springs.
