CMA Research Institute’s project is working with Cuban scientists in order to (1) establish baseline manatee population numbers in Cuba; (2) help Cuba strengthen protections for this remarkable and endangered species, and (3) determine the degree of genetic exchange between Cuban manatees and those in Florida and the wider Caribbean. We already have evidence of Florida manatees traveling to Cuba and suggest that there may be some population exchange between the two countries.
