The Manatee Lover

It’s hard not to fall for these iconic faces. Surprise the manatee enthusiast in your life this holiday season with any number of gifts that support our cherished chubby friends:

Manatee Tote

Manatee Coffee

Throughout November, 10% of all proceeds ordered from Manatee Coffee’s website will be donated to our Marine Mammal Fund to support the supplemental feeding trial for manatees in the Indian River Lagoon. Manatee Coffee sources, blends, and roasts 100% Arabica coffee beans and offers flavors from Caribbean delight, eggspresso nog, and sea salt caramel.

Brush & Board of Apollo Beach

Board & Brush Creative Studios brings fun to DIY wood signs. Their Apollo Beach location, just minutes from the TECO Manatee Viewing Center, recently opened.
