Are you looking for something different and interesting to do on your Sunday afternoons ... something that is free and fun? Spend the best part of your Sunday afternoons at Manatee Lagoon and hear from a variety of interesting environmental personalities who happen to specialize in telling stories about really cool things - like the octopus population under the Blue Heron Bridge in Riviera Beach or know why manatees really do matter? Everyone is welcome, every Sunday starting June 4th. Talks are scheduled from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. with time for a question-and-answer session afterward. We will exhibit field work conducted by our Manatee Masters, never-before-seen video and photography celebrating the ecosystem and the diverse and special aquatic life inhabiting the Lake Worth Lagoon and lots more. Ample seating is provided. Advance registration is encouraged, but we welcome walk-ins as well. 

Join the Manatee Masters and an expert speaker for a lecture to learn about a new topic every week!

Manatee Lagoon – An FPL Eco-Discovery Center™. Visitors to Manatee Lagoon share an experience the whole family can enjoy in the company of endangered and unique Florida manatees as these gentle giants huddle and snuggle in the warm-water outflows of Florida Power & Light Company’s (FPL) Riviera Beach Next Generation Clean Energy Center during manatee season. The manatee center was built shortly after FPL modernized this natural gas plant. Test your knowledge of science and nature, and learn about FPL’s Riviera Beach Next Generation Clean Energy Center and the role it plays in the manatees migratory habits. For decades, manatees have been attracted to the warm-water discharges of FPL’s energy center, following a watery travel route that mother manatees have taught to manatee calves.
