There are 4 species within the Family of Sirenia throughout the world:

-West Indian Manatee: Which populates the Carribbean Coastlines, and Florida, but can migrate great distances with warm water during the summer months (from Florida to Texas and up the Eastern Seaboard).

-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.
