Female manatee rescued near False Sittee Point. It had a large fishing hook in its mouth attached to a boat bumper. Rescue team successfully removed the hook, cleaned the wounds and released the animal back to the sea. The manatee was named “Khaya” after the youngest volunteer on the rescue team. Kudos to all involved. JAMAL GALVEZ, Southern Environmental Association, Happy Go Luckie Tours, Allah Nunez, Linda Searle, Bob Miller, and many more.
