A handful of manatees have already visited the site amid the second year of the temporary feeding trial.

Visitors to areas prone to manatee are reminded to give them space, go slow, look out below when on the water and don’t try to feed them yourself, which is illegal and can cause manatees to associate people with food, or make them sick.
