Why oil spills do not effect the manatee?

Oil spills can have severe impacts on marine ecosystems, but manatees are less directly affected due to their habitat preferences. They primarily inhabit shallow coastal waters and seagrass beds, which may not be the immediate focus of an oil spill. However, while they might not be directly harmed by oil, the degradation of their habitat and food sources can lead to long-term negative effects on their health and survival. Additionally, oil spills can disrupt the overall ecosystem, affecting the manatees’ prey and the quality of their environment.
