Help Feed Starving Manatees and Restore Their Habitat

In 2022, over 800 manatees died, primarily from starvation. Florida's Indian River Lagoon (IRL), home to nearly one-third of the state’s manatees during winter, has lost 60% of its vital seagrass beds due to harmful algal blooms and poor water quality. Without this essential food source, manatees face a dire crisis. Now, you can help Greater Good Charities work alongside local partners to replant seagrass beds and provide supplemental feeding to malnourished manatees.

Replanting and Feeding Efforts

Greater Good Charities, through Project Peril, is actively working with on-the-ground organizations in Florida to restore manatee habitats and offer immediate nutritional support. Their efforts include replanting seagrass beds devastated by hurricanes and pollution. Early trials have shown promising results, achieving 100% grass coverage in test areas. Your donations also provide nutritious produce, like leafy greens, to help recovering manatees regain their strength. Just $25 can supply 30 pounds of nourishing produce.

Defending Manatee Habitats

Project Peril is dedicated to safeguarding the delicate coastal ecosystems that manatees call home. By combating water pollution, preventing habitat destruction, and promoting awareness about responsible boating, we’re taking a comprehensive approach to manatee conservation. Through collaboration with local communities, we address the root causes threatening these gentle giants.

Together We Can Make a Difference

Join us in this critical mission to protect endangered manatees. Your support helps restore seagrass beds, provide food, and implement long-term conservation measures. Together, we can forge a future where manatees have a fighting chance to survive and thrive.
