The Mote Marine Aquarium in Sarasota, Fl. is an excellent site. They do alot of manatee research and rescuing. It is a wonderful place to visit if you ever get the opportunity.

Manatees are large aquatic mammals sometimes known as sea cows.
They are herbivores spending most of their time grazing in shallow waters, and can have a mass anywhere from 500 to 1000 kg. When born, baby manatees have an average mass of 30 kg.
Manatees inhabit the shallow, marshy coastal areas and rivers of the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico , the Amazon basin and West Africa. They spend half of their day sleeping in the water, surfacing for air regularly, and at intervals of not longer than 20 minutes.
