Come Swim With the Crystal River Manatee
The Crystal River manatee is a large, gentle sea-mammal that spends the majority of its day eating. In fact, manatee can eat an average of 100-150 pounds of vegetation a day and they spend much of their time in waters that are only 3-7 feet deep; which makes locating and swimming with manatees in Crystal River a fairly easy and enjoyable adventure. The Crystal River manatee are also friendly, slow-moving creatures that are curious by nature, which will provide many opportunities to observe these animals and take pictures while swimming with them.
When you visit Crystal River, swim with the manatees and enjoy yourself, but please...look, but do not touch. there is much debate regarding the effects of human-manatee interactions; largely, this debate has been the result of careless tour guides allowing folks to physically handle the manatee. The manatee are very gentle and they will allow you to get right next to them, but you must resist the temptation to reach out and touch, or feed them. The end result is this, the animals spend more time frequenting areas where humans concentrate, which puts them at risk for propeller injuries, or death and if legislation is passed to prevent interactions, swimming with manatees in Crystal River will no longer be possible for future generations to enjoy. So, please enjoy, take photos and swim along with the manatee, but do not touch them, or prevent them from swimming and surfacing freely. Let's protect them and our ability to interact with them.
