Exploring Crystal River

After our morning swim with the manatees we went back to our campground to shower and eat lunch. Then we drove to Three Sisters Springs Nature Preserve. As we entered they said there were no manatees here today. Water temperatures in the gulf had warmed this week. Many manatees left for better eating in the gulf. We  listened to a park ranger talk about manatees. On the east coast of Florida pollution has increased  to the point where sea grass cannot get enough sunlight to grow. On the west coast the pollution is less of a concern and the manatee are thriving. As it turns out 2 recently returned to the wild manatees were still here hanging out with us tourists.
