Endangered Mermaids tells the story of the manatee in Florida through the eyes of the many people who study, care for, and rescue them.
The film follows the rescue of two manatees stuck in a Cocoa Beach storm drain. Though most animals caught in storm drains do not survive,
after a heroic rescue, these manatees were transferred to Sea World for treatment and rehabilitation, then released. This is a powerful film about
the animals Columbus once mistook for mermaids, but more importantly, a story about people who are working together towards a common
goal to save a species from extinction. Janson Video Productions - film by Oceanic Research Group with assistance from Massachusetts Communication College.
Written and Produced by Jonathan Bird and Art Cohen. Format: DVD, Color. Length: 48 Minutes.
