A20: There are seven (7) federal sanctuaries in Florida, all of which are located in the Crystal River area. Specific quantitative impact is difficult to measure. We do know that Citrus County has the highest manatee adult survival rates and overall population growth in the state. This would seem indicative of a well-implemented, well-enforced manatee protection plan.
