Silver River Field Trip 2/n

Manatees are a real treat on the Silver River because it's so far inland, and from what I understand of manatees, they typically prefer more brackish waters.  The Silver River flows into the Ocklawaha River, which flows into the St. Johns River, which then empties into the Atlantic Ocean.  There's some debate about why manatees would be found so far inland given the existence of a dam with locks and the distance from more typical manatee habitat.
