While Park Rangers and volunteers at Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park appreciate manatees all year, on Wednesday, March 25, 2026 we celebrate the conclusion of "manatee migratory season". View both resident and wild manatees up close, listen to an educational program, then "adopt" one as your very own from Save The Manatee Club! Adoptions will take place near the Underwater Observatory from 10AM to 3PM. By adopting a manatee, you will become a member of the Save the Manatee Club. Memberships help fund manatee rescue and rehabilitation, education, public awareness projects, and conservation to protect manatees and their habitats. For more information on adopting a manatee, contact Save the Manatee Club at savethemanatee.org.
