Question
I am doing a research paper on manatees and marine biologists.  I can't find to much information on how marine biologists are trying to help save manatees, how the marine biologists interact with manatees, and how the manatees react to the marine biologists being near them and trying to help them.  Will you please supply me with that information. Thank you very much.

Answer
Dear Cassie,

I am not a manatee expert, but I think you can find some very good information here:

Hope that will help get you started.
