The Great Florida Riverway is a 217-mile river system that spans from the Green Swamp and Lake Apopka in Central Florida all the way to the Atlantic Ocean and is vital habitat for species like Florida manatees, black bears, bald eagles, panthers and bobcats. With Florida’s manatees in crisis, restoring natural warm water winter habitat such as the Great Florida Riverway and its springs matters more than ever.

The SeaWorld Rescue team received a cold stunned manatee on January 2nd, that was brought to us with the help of our partners at The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. This is our first rescue of the year and our team continues to rehab this animal, and many others, so that we can return them back to the wild.
