By monitoring them
Authorities in Florida monitor its number.
Oh, dude, keeping track of manatees is like keeping track of your friends at a music festival - you gotta tag 'em! Researchers use radio tags, satellite tags, and photo identification to monitor these gentle giants. It's like a manatee version of a reality show, but with less drama and more seagrass munching.

help keep the manatee for future generations
Florida authorities monitor the manatee population through a combination of aerial surveys, boat-based observations, and photo-identification techniques. Aerial surveys are conducted during the winter months when manatees congregate in warmer waters, allowing for accurate counts. Additionally, researchers use photo-identification to track individual manatees and gather data on their movements, health, and reproduction. This comprehensive approach helps inform conservation efforts and management decisions.
A density-dependent limiting factor affecting the Florida manatee population is the availability of food resources, such as seagrasses. As the manatee population increases, competition for these food sources intensifies, leading to potential malnutrition or starvation, particularly in areas where seagrass beds are already limited. This can ultimately impact the health and reproductive success of the manatee population.
i dont know but i know it was high then now adays
There are 3 species of manatee. There is the West Indian manatee, the Amazonian manatee, and the Florida manatee.
The researchers are trying to see how many there are, but won't give us an estimate. But they do think the manatee populaton is increasing.
Star Track Express's population is 3,000.
Keep track from where though?
He keep track of the stars' postitions.
