Wild Manatee Cams at Blue Spring State Park
Support for the webcams was made possible by a donation to Save the Manatee Club as a memorial gift in honor of the late Mrs. Norma Norton, a Florida resident who cared deeply for manatees. "Mrs. Norton's love for manatees will inspire so many people from all walks of life through Internet and webcam technology. People everywhere will get to know manatees and come to love them, as Mrs. Norton did," said Patrick Rose, Executive Director of the Club.

Please Note: We are currently airing live streaming at Blue Spring State Park with occasional prior recordings of video that was streamed during the 2011 — 2012 season.

Latest Manatee Update: December 11, 2012
ROCKET is in!!!! Today I saw Rocket's freeze brand on S99/12, one of the manatees I previously thought I could not recognize! Rocket has actually been at Blue Spring off and on since November 28th. He was also seen in Welaka on November 21st. Now, of the adoptees, there is just Elaine left to come in. The river is still 69° F. I saw 29 manatees today, and the park staff did not count. Annie, of course, was in. I filmed Rocket with enthusiasm.
