TESTIMONIALS (NOT FISH STORIES)

We enjoyed the personal and professional attention we received from Capt. Karty. We will return every year."
-Joe Shahadey of Terre Haute, Indiana


Manatees are massive, gray mammals with tails that are in the form of flat paddles. They have two flippers with 3 to four nails on each. Their heads are wrinkled with hairs on their muzzles. Most Manatees weigh over one thousand pounds, can grow up to fourteen feet and live to be about sixty years old. lots of years ago sailors regularly would mistake Manatees for mermaids. Manatees are delicate creatures and spend the majority of their days eating and traveling. Manatees do not have teeth, but they do have front molars. They have incredibly good eyesight. we do not know if Manatees actually need fresh or salt water, but they seem to like fresh better. They can be found in shallow, slow-moving streams, saltwater bays, canals, and coastal areas, especially where you would find sea grass beds or freshwater vegetation. Manatees could also be found in the seaside and inland waterways of Central America and along the northern coast of South America.
West Indian Manatees came from the Caribbean. It became possible for more of them to survive the winters here after power plants were built in Florida which increase the water temperatures around them. Manatees also spend their winters in natural springs, like Blue Springs near Deland, Florida, and they make their paths to the coastal waterways, including Mosquito Lagoon, for spring, summer and fall.
Manatees will have to come up for a breath about every 4 mins. They often spend a little time resting submerged at the bottom or just below the surface of the water. When they're using a great deal of energy, they may surface to respire as frequently as each half a minute, but when resting, Manatees have been known to stay submerged for up to twenty mins.

The calves nurse and depend on their mas for roughly two and a half years. Twins are terribly rare.

Captain Karty Sills has been a fishing guide in Mosquito Lagoon since 1992. He has seen the football sized newborns that even he acknowledges are extremely lovable versions of the adult Manatees.

The Manatee's closest relative is the elephant. The West Indian Manatee is related to the West African Manatee, the Amazonian Manatee, the Dugong, and Steller's Sea Cow, which was hunted to extinction in 1768.
Additional deaths are from human-related causes with include collisions with watercraft ; being crushed and drowned in canal locks and flood control structures ; ingestion of fish hooks, litter, and monofilament line ; and entanglement in crab trap lines. Finally, loss of habitat and quickly declining water quality thanks to the spraying of fertilizer and insecticides are the most serious threats facing the Manatees today.
