Ever wonder how they count the manatees at Blue Spring State Park? Here’s the behind‑the‑scenes: 🚣 Researchers glide up and down the spring run in canoes, carefully counting each manatee as the run is divided into 19 transects for precision. 👀 From the boardwalk, park staff also perform a visual count sometimes the view from above gives the clearest picture. | Blue Spring Adventures
