This is the head of the Florida Wildlife Commission in this area. Before they arrived, there was a local police officer that had gone out and started wetting down the manatee, to keep it from getting sunburned. Think you can notice, the tide had continued to go out. The squad took measurements, checked for chips, and then inserted chips, since it had not been tagged previously. Then they started to try to get it on a sling, to transport it back into the deeper water. See, next 3 of 3.
