The Dr. James “Buddy” Powell Manatee Rehabilitation Center Welcomed Three New Manatee Patients!
Three juvenile female manatee patients, Sabal, Vora, and Orchid arrived on November 10 and have been acclimating to their new surroundings. The rescued manatees will be continuing their rehabilitation journey with us and will hopefully be released back to the wild in early 2026.
Your visit helps support our rescue, rehab, release and conservation efforts to protect these animals, and we are excited to invite you to be part of our mission and discover the wonder of manatees.
Learn more about the Manatee Rehabilitation Center and how you can visit and help support the manatees in our care.
All activities authorized by USFWS and conducted under USFWS Permit #MA66524C.

We welcomed four new rough-toothed dolphins!
We are proud to provide a home for these four new rough-toothed dolphins that arrived at Clearwater Marine Aquarium this summer.
Doris, Kitana, Dagny, and Wren were originally rescued and later deemed non-releasable, meaning they can’t survive on their own in the wild. They each have unique needs shaped by their individual rescue stories.
Meet the four newest members of our dolphin pod!
You can now see all four new rough-toothed dolphins when you visit the Ruth & J.O. Stone Dolphin Complex at Clearwater Marine Aquarium!
