What is a density dependent limiting factor on the population of Florida manatees?
A density-dependent limiting factor affecting the population of Florida manatees is food availability, particularly seagrass, which can become depleted as manatee populations increase. As more manatees compete for the same resources, the growth and survival of individuals can be negatively impacted, leading to potential declines in population growth rates. Additionally, increased competition can result in malnutrition or starvation, further influencing the overall health of the population.

How did the manatees arrive in Florida waters?
Manatees are warm blooded, and the waters in Florida are much warmer year round. There are actually areas that they like to hang out, even in Florida. Many power plants that use water to cool their machinery vent the water back into the bays (it is actually a clean practice). The manatees will all come hang out in those destinations in the winter to warm up. Sometimes, you can see dozens of them there at once.
