The lagoons of Belize are home to a strange sea creature that mythology has long associated with the mermaid the manatee. Threatened worldwide, manatees are herbivores that feed in coastal regions. Since they move slowly and must come to the surface regularly to breathe in areas frequented by boats, they are often involved injured or killed. In Belize, an international team of biologists and veterinarians have developed a remarkable capture technique that allows them to study the manatee. And a local child, inspired by the work of these scientists since his youth, followed his dream and is today himself a respected manatee researcher.
