A small center educating the public on the plight of the manatee. Videos and exhibits teach boaters how to avoid hurting the creatures, and enlightens the rest of us on how our lifestyle has indirectly eradicated most of the manatee population. Manatee sightings are common-ish in winter in waters along the museum's observation deck.
