Tourists on the Florida manatee viewing area with a coal-fired power station behind

Tourists on the Florida manatee viewing area with a coal-fired power station behind. About 30 years ago manatees discovered agreeably warm and clean water in the power station's discharge canal and they gather there when the water in Tampa Bay is cold. The canal is now a manatee sanctuary, attracting both the endangered manatees and people. Apollo Beach, Florida, USA
