If you’re looking for a truly unique Mother’s Day present, consider adopting a Manatee in your mom’s name from the Save the Manatee Club.  According to our friends at Save the Manatee, for the environmentally friendly price of $25, the Club will send an adoption certificate, photo, and known history of a real living manatee. Adopt at $35 or more and receive a free handmade collectible manatee ornament (while supplies last). 

An individually handcrafted manatee heart ornament is included with every gift adoption of $35 or more (supplied are limited).

Choose from 34 real Florida manatees, including manatee moms Annie, Aqua, Phyllis, and Lucille.  View them all by visiting the Club’s website at savethemanatee.org/adoptees or click the Adopt-A-Manatee® online now link.

Proceeds are used to help protect manatees and their habitat.

Diana Waldau from California adopted “Lucille” for her mother last year.  “My mom loved it!” says Diana.  “She had actually been hinting for someone to adopt a manatee for her.  When I went on Save the Manatee Club’s website and read about all the Club does for manatees, it was an easy decision to make.  When I saw Lucille, I knew this was a perfect Mother’s Day gift.”

Save the Manatee Club, an international nonprofit 501(c) (3) manatee conservation organization, has been the voice for manatees since 1981.  The Club was co-founded by renowned singer/songwriter, Jimmy Buffett, and former U.S. Senator, Bob Graham, when he was governor of Florida.

Funds from the adoption program help with the Club’s goals to reduce manatee harassment, injuries and deaths from human activity; to protect ample healthy habitat to support a stable or growing manatee population; and to ensure that sufficient conservation measures have been adopted to protect individual manatees from life threatening injuries.
