THE BISHOP MUSEUM OF SCIENCE AND NATURE HAS BEEN REHABILITATING WILD MANATEES since 1998 and was a founding member of the Manatee Rescue and Rehabilitation Partnership in 2001. As one of only three Stage 2 rehabilitation facilities in Florida, The Bishop cares for recovering manatees, freeing much-needed emergency space so that seriously ill and injured manatees can be treated in critical-care units elsewhere. Spending time in our Parker Manatee Rehabilitation Habitat allows manatees time to finish the recovery process, grow and prepare for their return to the wild. Florida’s wild manatees are facing more challenges than ever. This year, we’ve lost more manatees than any other year in our state’s history. Manatees need our help and your monthly support as a Bishop Foster Friend will make it possible. A monthly contribution of just $25 will help feed and care for rehabilitating manatees until they are healthy enough to go home. And any gift made today will be matched through Florida Power & Light Company’s charitable arm, the NextEra Energy Foundation, up to $20,000. You can become a BFF to The Bishop’s rehabilitating manatees by giving monthly to support their care and feeding, or, by supporting the manatee rehabilitation program with a one-time gift. However you decide to support the manatees, you will receive special gifts, invitations, and experiences based on your level of giving.
