| Update |
Update January 2010: The SJBE sponsored the publication of the book El Manatí de Puerto Rico (The manatee in Puerto Rico) by Antonio Mignucci, which provides details on the latest manatee population on the island and other important issues. The presentation of the publication was held on December 10, 2009 . In the 2009-2010 Work Plan SJBE included an initiative to place signs in the protected areas for the manatee in the SJBE.
Previous update: The SJBEP contracted the Caribbean Stranding Network to conduct manatee aerial surveys, and was also an active partner during these efforts. These aerial surveys have concluded and crude data has been provided. CSN will now develop recommendations regarding the management of this species in the SJBE area by combining data from these surveys with other efforts that have been conducted.
A public press campaign directed by the SJBEP about manatee protection has been published in local newspapers since 2006.
