3. SOUNDBITE (English) Nadine Lysiak, New England Aquarium research scientist:
“And so it’s a very rare sighting to have a manatee up in Massachusetts’ waters. They prefer to be off the coast of Florida and the Gulf Coast and they venture as far north of the Carolinas normally. But it seems like about every 10 years we get a sighting of a manatee up in Massachusetts.”

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Jennifer Sullivan, paddle boarder:
"I live here full-time in Mashpee and I keep my paddle board in the marina… I saw the manatee very clearly towards the surface of the water, and immediately apparent what it was, since I knew what I was looking for. And then just in awe of how graceful the creature was, and to be so close in the wild to it.
