Manatee Mortality Statistics
Since 1974, biologists have collected mortality statistics for
Florida manatees. Researchers have determined both the number of
manatee deaths in each Florida county and the probable cause of
death for each carcass. Analysis of these data allows tracking of
changes and trends in mortality throughout the years.
