MANATEE

Allen Aven, graduate student in marine sciences at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab, and Aven’s daughter, Kayla Aven, 13, of Memphis, Tenn., spot crabs on the shoreline before boarding a pontoon boat to track down Bama, a 1000-pound manatee 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 oil spill.
