Tampa Electric's Manatee Viewing Center

Manatees love warm water.  And by a stroke of POWERful luck, Tampa Electric can provide it to them!  Big Bend Power Station in Apollo Beach circulates water from Tampa Bay for cooling, then sends the water flowing clean and warm back into the bay.  In the winter months, the manatees leave colder waters to return to this warm and welcoming refuge.

Because of this uniquely unusual migration, Tampa Electric built the Manatee Viewing Center so everyone can have a chance to see the manatees gather.
