Manatee Awareness Month Nov 14, 2025

November isn"t just about turkey dinners and pumpkin pie—it"s also Manatee Awareness Month, when we show some love to the ocean"s chillest stars. Forget dolphins doing flips or sharks stealing headlines—manatees win hearts by doing, well, almost nothing. And that"s the charm.
