A group of manatees were again spotted last Friday and Saturday, this time in Colington Creek according to Marina Doshkov, Marine Mammal Stranding Coordinator for Jennette's Pier. “Please do not offer food, lettuce or water to the manatees,” she said. “When you offer them food, it encourages them to stay longer than they should. With water temperatures dropping, they need to head south as soon as possible."
