Public support of government conservation programs is vital. In order to engender support, the public must be well informed so that they understand the problems facing manatees, as well as the steps that need to be taken to conserve the species. In addition, it is important to target specific user groups that have the most interactions with manatees. Knowledge of manatee habitat requirements, behavior and general biology can contribute towards the reduction of manatee disturbance, harassment, injury and death. ISM staff who focus on outreach and information distribution provides a wide array of materials to a variety of audiences. Our goal is to provide factual, timely information appropriate to the target user groups.
