The pristine waterways of Jupiter, Florida, are full of beautiful marinelife such as manatees, dolphins, sea turtles, starfish, conch, sea urchin, sea cucumber, pufferfish, pelicans, and so much more!

Manatees are one of the most sought after gentle giants to see, which frequent our waters year round. They can grow up to 10 feet long and weigh as much as 1200 pounds, as they munch up to 150 pounds of sea grass daily!
