Active Manatee Tracking

Manatee Tracking – Gotti

Posted September 12, 2024

A full health assessment was conducted on a ten-foot adult male manatee named Gotti on August 21, 2024 north of Savannah, Georgia through the collaborative effort between Clearwater Marine Aquarium Research Institute (CMARI), Georgia Aquarium (GAI), Georgia Department of Natural Resources (GDNR) and many other partners. Gotti received a complete health checkup by CMARI, GAI and University of Florida veterinarian staff. He was also outfitted with a GPS satellite tag to closely monitor his travels as part of our manatee Northern Atlantic Coast Manatee Movement study. The project will collect crucial habitat use and health data to help manage threats to manatees that migrate northward into coastal Georgia and the Carolinas during the warmer months of the year. Working in cooperation with state and federal agencies, data collected from this project will also be utilized to gain a better understanding of how manatees adjusted to the drastic loss of food sources along the east coast of Florida which was the primary contributing factor to the manatee Unusual Mortality Event in recent years.
