Sierra Club Program

Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) manatee program staff will teach you all about manatee research and conservation measures that FWC uses to protect this iconic species. Learn about manatee mating behaviors and preserving forage habitat, experience how biologists survey manatees from the sky, and discuss how you can protect manatees when out on the water.

The program is held at Waterworks located at 1133 Thomasville Rd. Arrive at 6:30 PM to enjoy a bite to eat and a beverage; program starts at 7:00 PM.
