ORLANDO, Fla. — The emergency feeding and rescue of starving manatees in Central Florida has demobilized, with authorities now wondering about lessons learned, except for one.
“A lot of these things that happened this winter put us in a much better place for the 2022-23 winter,” said Teresa Calleson of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. “We will continue to keep this momentum.”
Wildlife authorities have not confirmed that a similar response will start again late this year for the coming winter but they have suggested repeatedly that it’s likely.
