Everyone knows that when the weather gets chilly along the East Coast, head to Florida. While I will be doing that this weekend (not weather-related, though), it seems as though a bunch of manatees were already a few steps ahead of me. 

The Southwest Florida Water Management District recently shared video of a gathering of hundreds of manatees at Three Sister Springs in Crystal River. The district recently restored the shoreline around Three Sisters Springs to help prevent future erosion caused by the manatees and humans — both of whom are seen doing their thing in the video — so hopefully it serves its purpose. 

Not sure if I will get to float in the waters of St. Petersburg. Does it still count if it is in a bathtub? 

Now, see what news gathered in this RTO Insider email.

From everyone at RTO Insider, thanks for reading and enjoy the rest of your day!
