Brevard County sees nearly triple the number of manatee rescues—and deaths—than any other Florida county. Already this year, we’ve seen the manatee death toll surpass previous records.
Your Zoo wants to answer the call to help this beloved Florida animal. We want to establish a manatee rescue team to help our partners at the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. While FWC will continue to take the lead in area manatee rescues, our trained team will be a resource for them to call on as manatee rescue season ramps up.
We need $30,000 to establish this team with the crucial emergency equipment and manpower. Can we count on your support?

#GivingZOOday, in partnership with GivingTuesday, celebrates the impact zoos and aquariums have on their communities by engaging visitors to be stewards of the environment and saving species from extinction. It’s also about how these institutions give back by mentoring their staff and volunteers to support a wide range of causes.
