by Boston (AP) – Recently, a navigator off the coast of Massachusetts was discovered for the first time in almost a decade, and scientists want to monitor their condition to determine whether a rescue is necessary before they succumbed to the cold water or the lack of food on Friday.
The threatened way that produces its habitat in warmer southern golf waters in places such as Florida was seen on July 26 off the southwestern coast of Cape Cod in the Nantucket area. Jennifer Sullivan Jennifer Sullivan made a video by Paddle Boars in one entrance behind a marina, surrounded by seagras.
On Monday, she said that she found the lake koth that was as long and wide as her paddle board, “just lazy around in the grass, slowly rash around as possible.”
“It was completely unimpressed by us,” said Sullivan, who said that she felt “only awe about how graceful the creature was and so close to the wilderness.”
A few days later, the animal was stranded on the tidal areas in Mattapoisett. Spectators who found the Seekuh on the apartments around Sunrise put them back into the water, said Massachusett’s division of the Marine Fisheries Protected Species Program Manager Erin Burke.
It has not been discovered since then, said Burke, but a team from the International Fund for Animal Welfare is available for rescue the animal if necessary.
The species floats to swim in warmer waters, usually only up to the Carolinas. If the sea kuh stays in water that is too cold too long, it could suffer serious illnesses or deaths, said the New England Aquarium research scientist, Dr. Nadine Lysiak.
In addition, sea -eaters who support themselves on extensive sea grass beds and mangroves that cannot normally be found in Neuelfland are also supported.
“Even if it does not have a cold breathtaking breathtaking, it can be a health decline that is not enough with enough food and not enough water,” she said. “It is therefore important to intervene as soon as it is spotted again to prevent health declines.”
Lysiak said it was unclear how and why the Seekuh was found so far north. It may be chasing the Warmwasser Golfstrom current system from Florida past the Carolinas and finally found its way to New England, she said.
“We have an average understanding of what a wild population does with regard to their reach or their habitat, and some people will go beyond and maybe hike or other habitats or other food sources,” she said. “It is difficult to know why this nautical corner came to Cape Cod.”
Manate sightings are unusual in Neugland, but not unknown.
In 2008 and 2009, various nautical seeds were spotted in Cape Cod Bay – the animals were ever identified in the north. Both were finally saved, with one on the trip to Florida to die for rehabilitation. The other survived the trip to the south and lived until 2018.
In 2016, a Seekuh was discovered off the Falmouth coast. In 2023 one of the animals in Rhode Island was seen.
Anyone who sees the nautical cows is asked to document their GPS position and call the Beaching Network Hotline (508) 743-9548.
Sullivan said she feels “blessed that I could be in the right place and at the right time to see the creature”, and she hopes that it is healthy and safe.
“I pray that he just went south,” she said.
