We are excited to welcome Superheroes of Manatee Conservation, Dr. James “Buddy” Powell and Jamal Galves, as we explore the ongoing efforts and challenges of protecting these gentle giants. Dr. Powell, one of the world’s leading experts on manatees, will share stories from a lifetime of manatee research, including introducing Jacques Cousteau to the manatees in Crystal River when he was just a teenager.Jamal Galves was just a young boy in Belize when he met Dr. Powell; he will reminisce about that fateful day, how it led to his passion to protect manatees, and his extraordinary career as the “Manatee Man.”
These two superheroes have worked to protect manatees in the U.S. Caribbean, Central America, and throughout their range; we are excited to bring these efforts to Clearwater Marine Aquarium in our new Manatee Rehabilitation Center. We will hear about this new facility, rehabilitation efforts, and the manatee in our care from CMA’s Manatee Manager, Tanya Ward.
