The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service administratively closed the Atlantic-coast Florida manatee Unusual Mortality Event on March 14, 2025. The retrospectively defined event period ran December 1, 2020 through April 30, 2022; its 1,392 cases comprise 1,255 carcasses and 137 rescues, not 1,392 deaths. FWC reports that Atlantic-coast mortality returned to expected levels; habitat concerns and monitoring continue. The event period and the closure date are different, and closure does not establish full habitat or forage recovery.
