Please Note: Manatee season has ended at Blue Spring State Park, and the manatees are currently traveling freely around Florida's rivers and coastal waters. When they return to Blue Spring next winter, we will once again provide live streaming and regular updates. Until then, we are currently airing prior recordings of video that was streamed earlier during the 2012 - 2013 season. Any people seen in the videos are researchers or other individuals with special permission. Blue Spring State Park is not open to public swimming or diving during manatee season.
