Save the Manatee Club is an acclaimed national nonprofit 501(c)(3) and membership-based organization, founded in 1981 by the late esteemed singer-songwriter, author, and entrepreneur Jimmy Buffett, along with former U.S. Senator Bob Graham during his tenure as governor of Florida. In addition to their endearing appearance, manatees play a crucial role in maintaining the ecosystem. As herbivores, they consume large quantities of sea grass, which helps manage sea grass beds by preventing overgrowth and inhibiting the spread of invasive vegetation. By feeding on these invasive plants, manatees contribute to the overall health of the ecosystem. Furthermore, their activities help fertilize the surrounding environment, promoting the growth and vitality of aquatic vegetation.
