He was also outfitted with a GPS satellite tag to closely monitor his travels as part of our Ocklawaha Manatee Movement study. The project will collect crucial habitat use and health data to help manage threats to manatees that migrate into the system during the warmer months of the year from the east coast of Florida and the upper St. Johns River. Working in cooperation with state and federal agencies, data collected from this project will also provide an insightful understanding of how often individual manatees navigate through lock systems and what resources are they seek between large lake systems.\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">All manatee work was conducted under USFWS Research Permit # MA37808A-2.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chain Florida Manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris) Tag Status Active Last Date Tagged July 22, 2026 Gender Male Tagging Location Lake Griffin, Florida Please note: The presentation of data here does not constitute publication, and the researchers who contributed this data retain all intellectual property rights.
