People historically hunted manatees for their meat, which was considered a food source, and for their hides, which could be used for leather. Additionally, manatees were sometimes hunted for their bones and oil. However, due to their declining populations and the recognition of their conservation status, hunting manatees is now illegal in many regions, and they are protected under various environmental laws. Today, efforts focus on their preservation and protection rather than hunting.
