- This animal’s safety guarded with the Fahlo Protection Ping™
Every Fahlo tracking experience includes the Fahlo Protection Ping™. This indicates each animal’s unique path may be live, delayed, or historical based on required safety protocol in accordance with our nonprofit partners.
While the experience of following an animal’s journey remains the same for you, we work behind the scenes with our partners to ensure this experience is presented in a way that keeps the animals safe, one step or splash at a time.
Why are manatees tracked?
Tracking information is used to determine how manatees react to the modification or loss of warm water habitats, the status and importance of foraging habitats, how and where manatees migrate in the warmer months, and whether manatees return to the same locations year after year. In other words, whether they have site fidelity.
How are manatees tracked?
The tagging assembly consists of a belt, a tether, and a tag. The belt fits around the peduncle area of the manatee, just above the tail, and is designed to fall off after a period of time.
Does tracking harm the manatees?
The tracking equipment does not interfere with a manatee’s natural behavior or movement. It is designed to break free at multiple locations should it become entangled.
