Help THE Academy Adopt A Manatee!
Donation protected
As many of you know, my kiddos are homeschooled. As part of their environmental science curriculum this year, they've set a goal of each adopting a manatee through the 'Save A Manatee' club, based in Florida through the National Audubon Society. In order to meet this goal, they're asking for you help to raise the adoption funds.
The Save the Manatee Club is an award-winning national nonprofit 501(c)(3) and membership-based organization established in 1981 by renowned singer/songwriter, Jimmy Buffett, and former U.S. Senator, Bob Graham, when he was governor of Florida.
Their mission is to protect endangered manatees and their aquatic habitat for future generations through increasing public awareness and education about manatees and their status as 'endangered' at the international level, sponsor research, rescue, rehabilitation, and release efforts; advocate for stronger protection measures such as boat speed zones and sanctuaries for manatees, and taking legal action when appropriate.
PeaGreen hopes to adopt NICK, who is a small adult male who was first identified in 1977. His movements have been tracked by radio telemetry, producing information on behavior such as going north, rather than south, in midwinter -- hence his nickname, "Crazy Nick." http://www.savethemanatee.org/adopt_blue_spring.htm
LittleBoyBlue hopes to adopt BAMA, a manatee who made history in September 2009 when she became the first manatee ever captured and tagged in Alabama waters by Dauphin Island Sea Lab's Manatee Sighting Network. Now a local attraction in Mobile Bay in the spring and summer, Bama has migrated from Alabama to Crystal River, Florida each winter. http://www.savethemanatee.org/adopt_alabama.html
The boys need to raise a total of $70 ($35.00 each) in order to adopt a manatee for the year. We appreciate your help!
