The Save Manatees stamp was issued on March 27, 2024, a day celebrated as Manatee Appreciation Day. The stamp's stylized art by Nancy Stahl shows a West Indian manatee in its underwater habitat. These large, slow-moving herbivores are a familiar sight in Florida's warm waters, including the canals and bays of the Miami area, especially during the winter months. The stamp aims to bring attention to the threats manatees face, including boat strikes and loss of their primary food source, seagrass, due to pollution. The issuance of this stamp underscores the importance of conservation efforts in Florida to protect this iconic species for future generations.
