The document summarizes the progress and challenges of conserving Antillean manatees since the 1995 Regional Management Plan. It finds that while conservation efforts have increased awareness and established some protected areas, threats from development, poaching and lack of enforcement continue. Going forward, it recommends strengthening legal protections, expanding protected habitats, developing recovery plans and assessing habitat needs to improve long-term survival of this vulnerable species across its range.

Good afternoon. I’d like to thank all of you for coming today, as I pick up where Phyllis left off by continuing to discuss the difficulties of marine policy enforcement in the Caribbean, but this time in terms of protecting a highly threatened species, the Antillean manatee. And my reasons for picking this topic is that no other species brings in a packed house like manatees.
