MANATEE

Allen Aven, graduate student in marine sciences at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab, listens to beeps from a VHF signal emitted by a tag tethered to tail of Bama, a 1000-pound manatee, which he is tracking in Scipio Creek off the Apalachicola River in Florida, Friday, June 18, 2010, in order to observe her behavior. Aven is closely monitoring Bama, and Bumpy, two manatees tagged by the Dauphin Island Sea Lab, for changes in their behavior since the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
