Manatee mortality rates in 2020 were considered to be the worst in recent years — that is until 2021 came along.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission reports 997 manatees have died since Jan. 1, 2021, compared to the confirmed 637 manatees that died in 2020, per its final mortality report.

While 589 of the mammals, noted in the latest manatee mortality table, died and were not necropsied — an animal autopsy — the majority had natural or perinatal deaths. FWC reports 106 manatees had perinatal deaths, while 149 experienced natural deaths.
