The gentle giants of the sea, the manatees, have long been a beloved symbol of Florida’s diverse marine ecosystem. On this Manatee Appreciation Day, we turn our attention to the majestic sea cows that call Hillsborough County, particularly Tampa Bay, their home. Manatees, also known as sea cows, are large, slow-moving marine mammals known for their friendly demeanor and curious nature.
One of the best ways to experience the beauty of manatees in Tampa Bay is by visiting the Manatee Viewing Center, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Apollo Beach. Managed by @theboroughhc, the Manatee Viewing Center offers visitors a unique opportunity to observe these gentle giants up close in their natural habitat.
