The past, present, and future of manatees in the southeastern United States: realities, misunderstandings, and enigmas. In: R. R. Odom, K. A. Riddleberger, & J. C. Ozier (eds.), Proc. Third Southeastern Nongame & Endangered Wildlife Symposium.
Social Circle (Georgia), Georgia Dept. Nat. Resources, Game & Fish Div. (253 pp.): 184-204. 6 tabs. 4 figs.
–Reviews historical records and recent data on manatee distribution, abundance, and mortality in the U.S., outlines future conservation needs, and presents biological, legal, and humanistic justifications for protecting manatees. Concludes there is no evidence that the manatee population is reduced in range or numbers compared with the past, or that it approached extinction at the turn of the century. Manatees may have become more numerous since the 1950's, but this trend is probably over, and a future decline is increasingly likely if strenuous efforts are not made to reduce or alleviate the effects of human population growth.
