Manatees Succumb to Cold Weather on Coast

GULFPORT -- A manatee found in Mobile Bay died en route to the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies in Gulfport on Christmas, and another manatee was found dead along the Pascagoula River in Moss Point on Tuesday.

Moby Salangi, IIM director, said crews from the Moss Point Police Department were helping his staff load the manatee on the trailer. A necropsy will be performed today to try to determine the cause of the manatee's death.
