Additional Notes

The Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge is comprised of several islands, totaling approximately 46 acres. they are surrounded by the crystal clear, spring-fed waters of Kings Bay. Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge is oriented toward preservation and protection of the West Indian Manatee and its habitat. During the winter when manatees concentrate, certain areas in Kings Bay are designated, "Manatee Sanctuary Areas." These sanctuaries provide places for manatees to rest and feed undisturbed in the warmth of the springs. The refuge also aids in preserving Florida's most significant naturally occurring warm water haven for the manatee and provides critical habitat for approximately twenty percent of the nation's manatee populations. Six hundred million gallons of fresh water flow daily from more than thirty natural springs. the temperature of the water flowing from the springs remains a constant 72 degrees Fahrenheit. Manatees, like people, are susceptible to cold and hypothermia and cannot survive fro extended periods when water temperatures fall below 68 degrees Fahrenheit. These warm water springs are essential for manatee survival. This gentle giant is endangered largely because of alteration and destruction of coastal habitats by man. Refuge islands and surrounding waters provide excellent habitat for a large number and variety of wildlife species. Some of the more common bird species you may see adjacent to the refuge are herons, egrets, ospreys, laughing gulls, cormorants, anhigas, white ibis and occasional bald eagle. Fish are also abundant. Mullet, largemouth bass, alligator gars, mangrove snappers, jack crevalle, sheepshead and tarpon are seen frequently in the water. It is this natural abundance and concentration of wildlife that has captured the imagination, respect and scientific interest of people throughout the world, and has made the Crystal River area internationally famous. Protecting Manatees Information To Live By: By swimming, boating, or diving in Florida's inland waterways, you may be endangering the life of the West Indian Manatee which is protected by federal and state laws. The Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 and the Endangered species Act of 1973 make it illegal to harass, capture or kill any marine mammal-including the manatee. In addition, the Florida Manatee Sanctuary act states
