The Alliance for Manatees, her latest initiative, aims to tackle critical threats to West Indian manatees. This involves identifying and validating crucial habitats through habitat modeling, supported by on-the-ground expertise from regional researchers. This work underscores the essential role of partnerships and field expertise in developing conservation strategies that are both data-driven and responsive to complex socio-environmental challenges.
