Jessica Hodge+FollowFlorida manatee’s rescue reveals hidden dangersA pregnant manatee named Tawana was finally freed from a painful entanglement after nearly a year of rescue attempts across Florida’s springs and rivers. The team removed six strands of fishing line cutting into her flipper, likely saving her from permanent injury. What’s striking is how common these threats are for local wildlife—monofilament lines and other debris can turn any waterway into a hazard zone. Tawana’s story is a wake-up call for all of us who enjoy Florida’s outdoors: small actions, like picking up stray fishing line, can make a huge difference. How do you think we can better protect our manatees? #Science #FloridaWildlife #ManateeRescue170Share
