FWRI Publishes Yearly Annual Report A culmination of a year's worth of science, research, and publication, the Research Institute's Annual Report was released to ring in the new year. Major research projects are highlighted, as well as documenting the extensive publications available via FWC's Digital Library. The Annual Report also serves as a transparent site to delve into the Institute's budget and grants, an important feature for any public research institution. FWRI thanks the researchers, scientists, and other staff who helped make the Annual Report a reality.  New on MyFWC.com/Research Red Tide Manatee Mortalities 2019 Manatee Mortalities 2018 Manatee Mortalities Red Tide Current Status Red Tide-Related Hotlines and Information Services  Marine Mammal Publications Internship Opportunities Annual Rescue Summaries (Manatees) 2017 Manatee Mortalities Stone Crab Catch Data  FWC's Second Update to the Statewide Florida Manatee Abundance Estimate Current HAB Staff
