Manatee Decals!
New
decals are designed and created each year in preparation for the manatee
Voluntary Contribution Campaign. As these decals help to raise money for
manatee recovery around the State of Florida, your contribution to this
cause is appreciated.
The official
manatee Voluntary Contribution Campaign began during the June boat registration
period in fiscal year 1992-93. Chapter 327.25 (7), Florida Statutes, states
that a registrant who provides a voluntary contribution of $5.00 or more
shall be given a sticker or emblem by the tax collector to display, which
signifies support for the Save the Manatee Trust Fund. Prior to this time,
donations were received under the Manatee Donation Campaign and no decals
were issued to show the donor's support.
Current year
manatee decals are available at Florida County Tax Offices. These decals
are given to individuals who donate $5.00 or more at the time of vessel
or vehicle registration. The donations
from the manatee decals support manatee research, rehabilitation and educational
programs.
FWC has a limited supply of some of
the earlier decals. We would like to offer them to individuals who are
interested in collecting them. Please indicate the decals you would
like to obtain by checking the appropriate area on the order form and
sending a check for the number of decals selected. The decals will
be sent to you within 4-6 weeks.
