Decades of Dedication: Supporting Manatee Rescue, Rehabilitation, and Return

As proud partners of the Manatee Rescue & Rehabilitation Partnership (MRRP) for nearly five decades, we’re honored to contribute to the rescue, rehabilitation and return of manatees to their natural habitats. Our facility in Orlando can support up to 60 sea cows and is one of two vital critical care centers in Florida.

Recently, our team worked with the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden and ZooTampa at Lowry Park on a transfer operation for five orphaned manatees. Two of the five sea cows were moved to our Orlando facility after completing secondary rehabilitation at surrounding care facilities and will be soon returned to their natural habitat.
