Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge, located in Crystal River, FL, is home to the only national wildlife refuge in the United States dedicated to safeguarding habitats for Florida's iconic marine mammal, the Florida manatee. Established in 1983, the refuge focuses on protecting the threatened manatee species.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge encourages passive observation of manatees, prohibiting activities such as chasing, disturbing, or touching these gentle creatures within the waters of Kings Bay, including Three Sisters Springs. Visitors are urged to report any manatee-related injuries or distress to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's wildlife emergency hotline.
