Feed the Manatees
Crystal River is best known as “The Home of the Manatees” so we have a little insider knowledge on our favorite friends.
Also known as “sea cows,” these herbivores usually spend up to eight hours a day grazing on eelgrass and other aquatic plants, consuming anywhere from 10 percent of their body weight in aquatic vegetation daily. That is over 100 lbs per day, per manatee!
​
Donations go toward all efforts in feeding the manatees. This includes the planting of eelgrass, gathering of grasses and grass feeding efforts to manatees in rescue, protection, and rehabilitation facilities.
