Save manatees this Manatee Awareness Month
Tax deductible
Of course manatees are to be celebrated and cared about all year, but November is a special month for them. Since 1979, November has been set aside as Manatee Awareness Month.
This is the time of year in which manatees move in from their warm weather migratory routes to hug the shoreline. The natural warm springs and power plant effluents to be found there don’t just make manatees more comfortable—as a sub-tropical species, they need water above 68 degrees Fahrenheit to survive. As the animals move closer to the shore, there are inevitably more boat strikes, fishing line entanglements and pollution poisonings that lead to injuries and deaths for manatees.
Without natural enemies, humans do manatees the greatest harm. So I believe we must also be their biggest advocates.
I sell vintage fashion in my denisebrain Etsy shop and for years have donate 10% of all the sales from my shop to Save the Manatee Club. This Manatee Awareness Month I'd like to help make an even bigger impact.
If you have $5 to give, that little bit can help add up for this magnificent species—and help give us all a little more hope for manatees' survival.
This is me: Vintage clothes—modern values
