Florida manatees were listed as an endangered species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 .

By the early 1990s , the manatee population in Florida had dwindled to less than 1,300 .

Seagrasses are vital to the health of marine ecosystems and provide food for aquatic herbivores.

Aarin-Conrad Allen : Improving water quality, protecting food sources, and further research are critical to ensure the long-term survival of manatees.

Allen: Manatees face multiple, synergistic threats, including water quality and food sources.

He says community outreach and education are critical for the survival of this iconic Florida species.
