Of Mangroves and Manatees

Thanks to Tom Reinert for passing on a well-written news article discussing the importance of mangroves, which also mentions their importance to West African manatees. Infact, the very first West African manatee I ever saw was eating red mangrove when we spotted it. I'm daydreaming about returning to Gabon's spectacular mangrove ecosystems in just a couple months!
