‘Takes a village’ The injured manatee that was spotted in Kitty Hawk Bay waters Oct. 29 has found its way back home to Florida. A multi-agency team scooped up the injured (prop wounds) and possibly sick manatee from a creek off the Tar River near Greenville Monday. Jennette’s Pier Marine Mammal Coordinator Marina Doshkov was first on the scene when the animal was spotted in Kitty Hawk. Once it was safely transported to SeaWorld Orlando, she was overjoyed. “Sending a huge thanks to all our volunteers and locals who helped keep an eye on this animal,” Doshkov said. “It takes a village!” Although several additional members of the North Carolina Aquariums assisted in the rescue, all activities were performed under a U.S. Fish and Wildlife service permit, according to Jill Sullivan, central region assistant marine mammal stranding technician for the aquariums. “They are permitted to capture and transport manatees.” Additional Aquariums staff who assisted were Emily Christiansen, head veterinarian, Lori Christiansen, associate veterinarian, Heather Broadhurst, veterinary technician and John Cece, volunteer.
