-West Indian Manatee: Which populates the Carribbean Coastlines, and Florida.
-West African Manatee: Found on the western coast of the continent of Africa.
-Amazonian Manatee: A strictly river-going species native to the Amazon River Basin.
-Dugong: Found in the Indo-Pacific region. There was formerly a species called the Stellar's Sea Cow which was the only cold-water species found in the Bearing Sea, and the coast of Alaska. It was hunted to extinction within 30 years of its discovery.

There are about 1,500 manatees in the United States, almost all in Florida. No one knows how many there are in the rest of the world, because it is very difficult and expensive to count them.
The Florida Manatee population is 4000-5000 in 2011.
In the US there are about 2500 left.
Florida has the largest population of manatees, having over 3,000 individuals. See related link..
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.
It last been last estimated from 2500-3000 of these Mammals inhabited
