Mortandad sin precedentes de manatíes desborda centros de cuidados en Florida

La marea roja causada por el uso humano de fertilizantes, la pérdida de alimento en su hábitat y los choques con embarcaciones están entre las principales causas de muerte de los manatíes.

And in 2021, the numbers have skyrocketed. From January 1 to April 16, 674 manatees were found dead in Florida waters, according to the Florida Wildlife Service. That's nearly triple the manatee deaths recorded during the same period for each of the past five years. (Photo by Eva Marie UZCATEGUI / AFP)
