In the early 1990s, only about 1,300 manatees remained in Florida’s waters. Today, their population has grown to more than six times that – all thanks to laws like the Endangered Species Act and people taking action to protect them. 💙 Learn more: oceana.ly/440kWh7

It happened in a blink of an eye, but this encounter with a family of river otters cruising the creek behind the resort on Hecla Island like a team of Navy Seals was pretty amazing. My camera settings weren't ready for this evening moment, but I managed to capture a fraction of the experience. 🌿🦊

Two river otters poke their heads up through murky water and look balefully at the photographer.

This will certainly help on the reach of river downstream of this works for bacteria and chemicals, though I expect there are also wider catchment sources of bacteria from what we’ve learnt on other inland bathing waters on rivers
