    Extractions: Manatees, Manatees Everywhere! August 28th to September 9th, 2002, we joined Katie LaCommare and Caryn Self Sullivan in the Drowned Cayes, Belize to help with their research on these gentle, endangered sea mammals. Katie and Caryn are attempting to gather baseline data on manatees in order to help the Belizean government create conservation policies and set aside areas to protect them and their habitats. Katie and Caryn have returned home but return to Belize each February to continue their studies. While we were there we spent most of our days in a small boat on the water as well as IN the water gathering data. Traveling with us this year was a team of ten dedicated individuals. Be sure to read all about the background information on what researchers already know about manatees, familiarize yourself with the research questions Katie and Caryn are attempting to answer, and take a look at the tools they use to gather and analyze data in their ongoing research.

Enlarge Photo Printer Friendly Email to a Friend SHARE Digg StumbleUpon Reddit RELATED "I found a place where I can use the skills I learned in the military to protect weak and defenseless animals," said the 55-year-old Meeks, scouring the swamps of Florida's lower Suwannee River for any signs of manatees. "They're peaceful, and they have no natural enemies except us humans." Indeed human activities have put these plant-eating sea creatures in great peril. Once hunted for their meat, scores of manatees are injured or killed by boats every year or become victims of habitat loss brought on by rapid human development. Their survival depends on finding food and warm waters around Florida's increasingly busy coastline.

70. For Manatees, It's Brains Over Beauty - International Herald Tribune
    The conception of the simple sea cow is being turned on its head by the recent work of Roger Reep, a neuroscientist at the University of Florida.  
    http://www.iht.com/articles/2006/08/30/healthscience/snmanatee.php
    
    Extractions: Search By Erica Goode Published: TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2006 Cleverness is unhesitatingly ascribed to the dolphin. But the manatee is not seen leaping through hoops or performing somersaults on command, and even scientists have suspected it may not be the smartest mammal in the sea. Yet the conception of the simple sea cow is being turned on its head by the recent work of Roger Reep, a neuroscientist at the University of Florida in Gainesville, and a small group of other manatee researchers, including Gordon Bauer, a professor of psychology at New College of Florida, and David Mann, a biologist at the University of South Florida. Reep Monkeys control a robot arm with their thoughts Mindfulness meditation: Lotus therapy 7 scientists share $1 million prizes in astronomy, neuroscience and study of tiny structures Brain size has been linked by some biologists with the elaborateness of the survival strategies an animal must develop to find food and avoid predators. Manatees have the lowest brain-to- body ratio of any mammal. But they are aquatic herbivores, subsisting on sea grass and other vegetation. With the exception of powerboats piloted by speed-happy Floridians, which kill about 80 manatees a year and maim dozens more, they have no predators. A large body makes it easier to keep warm in the water - essential for a mammal like the manatee, with a glacially slow metabolism. It also provides room for the large digestive system necessary to process giant quantities of low-protein, low-calorie food. A manatee must consume 10 percent of its body weight - from 800 to 1,200 pounds, or about 360 to 545 kilograms - a day.

Skerry Manatees are sometimes called sea cows, and their languid pace lends merit to the comparison. However, despite their massive bulk, they are graceful swimmers in coastal waters and rivers. Powering themselves with their strong tails, manatees typically glide along at 5 miles (8 kilometers) an hour but can swim 15 miles (24 kilometers) an hour in short bursts. Manatees are large, slow-moving animals that frequent coastal waters and rivers. These attributes make them vulnerable to hunters seeking their hides, oil, and bones. Manatee numbers declined throughout the last century, mostly because of hunting pressure. Today, manatees are endangered. Though protected by laws, they still face threats. The gentle beasts are often accidentally hit by motorboats in ever-more -crowded waters, and sometimes become entangled in fishing nets.
