Magnolia Springs Manatee Sanctuary

PLAY VIDEO

The Magnolia Spring Sanctuary is one of the most important and heavily used of all the Kings Bay Manatee Sanctuaries. It is a relatively large area of deeper waters away from the boat traffic patterns. Manatees moving out of Three Sisters often follow the shoreline and enter the Magnolia Sanctuary from the south.

Please don't crowd the sanctuaries and keep far enough away so that you don't get blown in by a sudden gust of wind. Boat traffic can be hectic in the area. Watch out for other users especially swimmers and paddlers.

Please Practice Passive Observation and Stay Out of Manatee Sanctuaries
