Margarito the manatee lost his left flipper after it became entangled in monofilament fishing line.

Dear Friend,

Debris in the waterway, such as discarded fishing line and hooks, plastic six-pack holders, and plastic bags, is dangerous to manatees and other wildlife. To help counteract this problem, Save the Manatee Club is partnering with Central Florida RECON on several area cleanups this summer. We could use your help!
