When the West Indian manatee first earned endangered species protection in the early 1970s, the gentle and sociable marine mammals were critically close to extinction, with only a few hundred of the Florida subspecies remaining on the East Coast. By 1991, when the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service first began aerial surveillance, they counted just 1,261 Florida manatees. The primary cause of death was boat strikes, which by the late 1990s were killing more than 100 manatees a year.

Inside, enticing smells wafted from the kitchen as the proprietor stepped forward with a welcoming smile.

Super exciting to report on this Pacific gray whale lost in the Atlantic for @NatGeo !

Does that #graywhale spotted off Cape Cod herald a return of the species? Yes, but not for hundreds of years. @MelanieHaiken has the story for @NatGeo https://t.co/iFw2QYzxSh
