Manatee mortality during the unusually cold winter of 1976-1977. In: R. L. Brownell, Jr., & K. Ralls (eds.), The West Indian manatee in Florida. Proceedings of a workshop held in Orlando, Florida 27-29 March 1978 (q.v.).
Tallahassee, Florida Dept. Nat. Res. (iv + 154): 86-91. 1 tab. 2 figs.
–Analyzes mortality during the coldest winter in Florida's history, based on 54 salvaged carcasses; 38 of these deaths were attributed to cold. Suggests that artificial warm-water sources north of manatees' historic range on the east coast may be diverting them from their usual southward wintertime movements, and that inadequacy or shutdown of these sources result in manatee deaths during severe winters.
