Report: Multiple Manatees Killed

A dead Manatee was seen floating in the sea behind Brodies warehouse in the Foreshore area of Belize City today. When we observed it this evening, the sea mammal appeared to have a cut wound – the kind we’ve seen many times from boat propellers. Now, normally this wouldn’t be news, but persons in the area tell us this is the third dead manatee they’ve seen floating over a short period of time. So we’d caution boats in the very busy harbour to please be mindful of the very docile marine mammals.
