Rehabilitation Centers

There are very few locations that house manatees for rehabilitation. Manatees United supports two of these locations: SeaWorld and ZooTampa at Lowry Park. Seaworld has aided in the rehabilitation of over 700 manatees, and ZooTampa has rehabilitated more than 400 manatees. To learn more, click their corresponding images below to go to their websites!
