A Florida coalition of government agencies, wildlife rehabilitation groups and conservation organizations has released an “unprecedented” 12 manatees into the wild in a single day
, according to a news release from the Save the Manatee Club. The Manatee Rescue and Rehabilitation Partnership announced the release on Tuesday. The 12 animals were released into Blue Spring State Park, one of the largest winter gathering sites for the species in Florida, on Monday, according to the news release.
The manatees were all outfitted with GPS tracking devices to “allow researchers the ability to monitor manatee movement and ensure their acclimation to their natural habitat for the next year,” according to the release. Data collected from the tracking devices will provide insight into how orphaned manatees adapt to the wild without the skills they would have learned from their mothers, like migrating to warmer waters.
