Crystal River Manatee Educational Video

Screw FL Fish and Wildlife. This video was made in the mid-2000's because I love manatees and wanted to do a fun and educational video about them. On CHRISTMAS EVE over a decade later they contacted me to say some rules had changed and i need to update MY video. I don't know what they do but obviously just look at youtube videos and whine. Anyway. My original audio was deleted not by me and my video is now screwed up .I intend to leave it up but with a disclaimer. Every time a rule changes someone can't be expected to change a video. It's sad really. My intent was good and I put my own time, money and passion into it. I dont know what they do. (Disclaimer: This video was shot 17 years ago and touching a resting manatee are NO LONGER permitted in Crystal River plus it's always best to let a manatee come to you!) Please look up the current rules or use an experienced tour operator. This video WAS an informational piece on the Florida Manatee. One of the most gentle creatures you could ever be in the water with! Every year the West Indian Manatee travel into Crystal River seeking warmer water temperatures. It is here that people are allowed to come into contact with them and hopefully protecting them for future generations. www.LiquidProductions.com To License footage contact [email protected]
