Improving knowledge about manatees, their habitats and the pressures affecting the species by monitoring aquatic grass beds by boat and drone, calculating the surface area of aquatic grass beds using GIS, collecting physical and chemical data and checking for the presence of pollutants, using eDNA, amplifying DNA using a portable PCR device, conducting an acoustic data collection campaign and installing camera traps ;
Developing income-generating activities for communities to replace manatee hunting ;
Consultation with the park manager to establish a nature reserve dedicated to the preservation of the African manatee (ecoguard surveillance, signage, community awareness, etc.).
