Proposed in 1979 by former Florida Governor Bob Graham, November 01 launches this observance honoring gentle marine "sea cows." Timing proves deliberate, since manatees migrate toward warmer waters precisely during this month, becoming especially visible near coastal springs. This dedicated Awareness campaign addresses persistent threats—approximately 25 percent of manatee deaths result from boat collisions, with 80 percent of survivors bearing propeller scars. Conservation efforts through Save the Manatee Club have proven remarkably effective, elevating populations from merely 800 individuals toward thousands today. This herbivorous Wildlife species, designated Florida's official state marine mammal, continues facing habitat loss and pollution. Throughout the United States, boaters receive educational materials promoting cautious navigation, safeguarding these vulnerable, ecologically vital creatures.
