Manatee Appreciation Day at The Bishop

The Bishop is celebrating Manatee Appreciation Day on Wednesday, March 25, with bonus Manatee Appreciation Day activities on Saturday, March 28.

The have been  doing manatee rehabilitation since 1998 and the Museum was a founding partner of the Manatee Rescue and Rehabilitation Partnership — a cooperative group of nonprofit, private, state and federal organizations that participate in manatee population management or manatee rescue and rehabilitation. The Bishop has cared for 42 manatees, including the four currently living with us in the Parker Manatee Rehabilitation Habitat: Felicia, Doscal, Viva and Collie!
