Manatee Conservation Trust The protection and rehabilitation of the endangered West Indian Manatee in the Nariva Swamp started out as a project of the Rotary Club of San Juan under the "Protect Our earth" programme of 1990 - 1991 launched by Rotary International. Over the years the members of the club along with other concerned environmentalists undertook various activities such as the establishment of a research station on site, monitoring of the population and public awareness. This culminated in the formation and registration of The Manatee Conservation Trust.
