Aerial census of manatees and boats over the lower St. Johns River and the Intracoastal Waterway in northeastern Florida.
Site-Specific Reduction of Manatee Boat/Barge Mortality Research Report (Florida Cooperative Fish & Wildlife Research Unit, Univ. of Florida, Gainesville) No. 2: iv + 56. 10 tabs. 20 figs. Oct. 1983.
–Presents and analyzes data from one full year on manatee abundance, distribution, movements, behavioral patterns, adult/calf ratios, effects of temperature and boat traffic, and population trends. Also analyzes in detail the distribution of boat traffic and its composition in terms of boat sizes. Concludes that the manatee population in northeastern Florida is likely to be unstable and declining, and makes recommendations for management.
