| 1991 | Belize - a last stronghold for manatees in the Caribbean. Oryx 25(3): 156-164. 2 tabs. 4 figs. July 1991. –Aerial surveys in May 1989 resulted in sightings of 102 manatees (including 5 calves), suggesting no change in population size since 1977. Survey results from the entire Caribbean region are summarized. Belize appears to harbor the largest number of manatees in the region, due to good habitat and lack of hunting. Recommendations for improved manatee conservation are offered. | ||
