Why hasnt the Service prepared a SAR each year for the Florida Manatee?
The Service has not prepared a SAR for the Florida manatee since 1995 because of the low number of commercial fisheries-related entanglements and deaths that occur each year. Instead, we have focused our limited resources on other human-related problems that do have a significant effect on the population, including the number of manatee injuries and deaths associated with watercraft that occur each year.
