Geocache Description:


Born and raised here on the island, I've heard many stories about the good ole days.  One that always comes to mind is how the natives and the locals back in the day enjoyed a "Sea cow" or "Manatee" every now and then.  Back in those days nothing went to waste.  Old-timers tell me that the meat is very much like pork and just as fatty.

In 1893, the state of Florida passed legislation that prohibited killing manatees. The West Indian manatee, including both Florida and Antillean sub species, was further protected in 1972 and 1973 with the passage of both the Federal Marine Mammal Protection Act and the Endangered Species Act, respectively. Florida followed suit, further protecting the Florida manatee through state endangered species legislation and subsequently through the Florida Manatee Sanctuary Act in 1978.

The Florida manatee is a significant part of the State's natural, cultural, and historic heritage. By working together, we can see to it that manatees are a continuing part of our heritage and our future.<
