A volunteer for the manatee capture endeavors that took place throughout the first week in April, looks on as the lead capture boat heads back to land after a long afternoon of searching for untagged manatees. The USGS has been tracking manatee populations and their health in areas across the globe, including Puerto Rico, Florida, and even Brazil. The researchers hope to continue learning about the manatees in Guantanamo Bay, who seem to have a well controlled safe haven here.
