A 1,550-pound female manatee is swimming free again in Upper Keys waters after a successful release on Nov. 5 at Harry Harris Park in Tavernier. Rescued three weeks ago by experts from Dolphin Research Center, FWC and Florida Keys Aquarium Encounters, ‘Prudence’ was originally found beached on a shallow flat and suffering from exhaustion. After a short stay at SeaWorld Orlando for rest and examination, she was deemed healthy enough for release with no ailments found and was successfully released by staff from DRC, FWC and SeaWorld at the park.
