Get Involved

Although we don’t have a formal volunteer program at Manatee Lagoon, interested parties can reach out to Friends of Manatee Lagoon at this page to find out how to get involved to volunteer support of manatee populations in the Lake Worth Lagoon.

Friends of Manatee Lagoon is a private not-for-profit organization recognized as tax exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the IRS Code. Friends of Manatee Lagoon educates the public and creates awareness about the threatened manatees that are vital to global ecosystems.
