**********

It is with much sadness that we share the heartbreaking news that our beloved Snooty the manatee died on July 23, 2017. Snooty was such a unique animal and he had so much personality that people couldn't help but be drawn to him. Our staff, volunteers, and board members considered him a star and we all deeply mourn his passing. Visit the NEWS tab on the navigation bar, above, to learn more.

We hope that you will join us in sharing your memories of Snooty on our Facebook page. Please visit the ``Remembering Snooty`` tab on the navigation bar to read and share memories.
