Just thought this would be neat/informative and wanted to share. Launched from MCVL boat ramp w/ the family yesterday morning. The Marshal asked me to check on a buoy he thought had entangled a fish and asked if I would help it out. I got a big surprise when I tried to grab the buoy it was clearly marked as a Manatee. I submitted a report to SCDNR on the web and learned all about this fellow check the link out.
So that’s what I saw at Remley’s the other morning (Sunday 6/5)! I was sitting on my boat fairly early waiting on a buddy to show up, and it swam right along the ramp! One guy there got a better look at it and said it was a manatee; I only saw the marker but there’s no doubt now that’s what it was – at first it looked like half of a buoy from a crab pot or something. That’s really interesting – thanks for sharing!
