Manatees
A female manatee and her mate were discovered in the harbour in December 1999. The manatee was nicknamed 'Manny', and was believed to have strayed from the Florida coast after a tropical storm or Hurricane in 1999. A young boy named Michael Morris documented a swim with the manatee on film.
Its mate was rumoured to have spent many months around Great Harbour, but then became solitary once again leaving the female behind, who is believed to have had a calf some time in 2000.
In 2012, rescued manatee were brought from Atlantis to the island, where they quickly were accepted by the already present group.
