Book Description
"Given its enormous girth, it's not hard to believe that the 1,500-pound manatee is actually a marine relative of the elephant. This gentle giant and its habitat have been greatly harmed by humans, but much work has been done to protect manatees from future damage. Readers follow along with the accessible text and full-color photographs as they find out what manatees eat, what their social life is like, and why they are in so much danger from people."--Publisher.

Sirenian Conservation
Author: Ellen Hines
Publisher: University Press of Florida
ISBN: 0813042704
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 341
Book Description
This important scientific volume comprehensively explores the biology and ecological status of manatees and dugongs in all of the geographic regions where they can be found today, from the Caribbean to Eastern Africa, from Arabia to the Amazon, and from Japan through the South Pacific to Australia. Many of these dwindling populations are situated in developing countries--locales that have previously received little attention in the scientific literature. In these areas, people occupying rivers or coastlines still capture sirenians for food and other uses (oil, bones for carving, leather). In addition, disruption, erosion, or complete loss of sirenian habitat occurs because of dredge and fill, coastal run-off, chemical pollution, and damage from boat propellers. Sirenian Conservation features contributions from an international group of scientists who are working to address the many challenges to manatee and dugong food supply, environment, reproduction, and survival. They share stories of programs that rescue, rehabilitate, release, and monitor these animals; offer reports on practical, replicable, and cost-effective management techniques; and summarize current research strategies.
