Since 1974, biologists have collected mortality statistics for Florida manatees. Researchers have determined both the number of manatee deaths in each Florida county and the probable cause of death for each carcass. Analysis of these data allows tracking of changes and trends in mortality throughout the years.
This summary database of individual manatee mortality allows users to search for information by county, cause of death, and date. Download the 2009 and 2010 Preliminary Manatee Mortality Reports.
