Manatee traveler in northeastern waters not Chessie

operly identified. Chessie was named after this purported sea monster.

"Cooperation among members of the Marine Mammal Sighting Networks, government agencies and the public on Chessie's migration has raised the public's awareness of this unique endangered marine mammal," said Jim Reid, a biologist with the USGS Sirenia Project. "Manatees are long-lived and typically repeat established movement patterns. It's likely that sightings of Chessie or other manatees will occur again in these northern areas."

These huge, harmless, plant-eating marine mammals usually swim slowly and prefer shallow habitats. Manatees are an endangered species, protected by federal law.
