MANATEE

Nicole Taylor, a lab technician at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab, and Kayla Aven, 13, of Memphis, Tenn., board a pontoon boat to track down Bama, a 1600-pound manatee in Scipio Creek off the Apalachicola River in Florida, Friday, June 18, 2010, in order to observe her behavior. Allen Aven, Kayla’s father, and a graduate student at the Sea Lab, is closely monitoring Bama, and Bumpy, two manatees tagged by the Dauphin Island Sea Lab, for changes in their behavior since the oil spill.
