•Manatees congregate in warm waters near power plants as US winter storms graze Florida
87% Informative
Florida 's manatee population is still recovering from a mass starvation event several years ago .
Warm-water outflows of about a dozen power plants are a popular destination for the docile aquatic mammals.
Manatees have been attracted to the warm-water discharges for decades , following a watery travel route.
The number of manatees near the power plant can fluctuate, but the most they've counted this year is about 85 .
The manatee was downgraded from endangered to threatened in 2017 and will remain in that classification.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service rejected efforts by several Florida environmental groups to get the manatees back on the endangered species list.
Officials and residents need to remain vigilant in protecting the threatened species, de Wit says.
