Mongabay[Commentary ] Slow-moving and peaceful, manatees are vital to the health of our oceans.
This Manatee Appreciation Day, we honor the dedicated people working to save them.
As a new op-ed by conservationist Omar Vidal argues, whether these giants survive the next 100 years is up to us. https://mongabay.cc/PCo3jf

Planting trees in the sea could act as a huge carbon sink and save millions of dollars in storm damage every year. What is stopping us from doing it?
A new study reveals restoring mangroves could save $800 million in storm damage, protect 140,000 people from flooding, and remove almost triple the amount of CO2 produced by cars in the U.S. every year.

Fossilized whale skulls reveal feeding secrets of sharks 5 million years ago
A new study analyzing two fossilized whale skulls from around 5 million years ago has revealed fragments of sharks' teeth lodged inside them. This provides rare evidence of how sharks fed on whales in north European waters in prehistoric times.
