Why is Manatee Ecotourism important in Crystal River?
February 1, 2024
The manatee tour industry serves as the guardians of Kings Bay. By offering guided tours, we are the eyes and ears on the water who are able to properly communicate the guidelines for manatee viewing to uninformed visitors on our waterways and help to teach all visitors how to recreate responsibly.
The Manatee tour industry is the first on scene to notice the signs of injured manatees and report them to officials for monitoring and/or rescuing.
Key players in the manatee tour industry are there to assist in manatee rescues and releases in Citrus County.
We give back to our community by hosting group clean-ups in our county multiple times a year and providing volunteer services when possible.
