Turtley Yours Save the Manatee Conservation T-Shirt – Eco-Friendly – Comfort Colors Unisex Heavyweight Tee

Peaceful by Nature. Protected by You.

Wear your love for the ocean's gentle giants loud and proud in this soft, heavyweight unisex tee made to celebrate—and protect—our beloved manatees.

These peaceful “sea cows” drift gracefully through coastal waters, munching on seagrass and keeping our marine ecosystems clean, balanced, and full of life. Manatees are living proof that when we care for nature, it cares for us right back—and now, more than ever, they need champions like you

Because manatees face serious threats:
   •   Boat Strikes: Due to the fact that manatees surface frequently to breathe and move slowly, they are vulnerable to collisions with watercraft, which cause severe injuries and fatalities.
   •   Loss of Habitat: Coastal development, pollution, and declining water quality destroy the seagrass beds manatees rely on for food.
    •   Cold Stress: In winter, manatees rely on warm-water refuges to survive. Many have learned to depend on the warm water discharged by coastal power plants instead of migrating to natural springs. As older power plants close or switch operations, these artificial refuges disappear, and manatees can struggle to find or reach natural springs farther away. Without safe warm-water habitat, they risk deadly cold stress during chilly months

When you wear this shirt you help spread awareness. Every conversation about your shirt educates others about manatee conservation. By wearing this shirt, you’re joining a wave of changemakers who care — about protecting wildlife, preserving our oceans, maintain healthy ecosystems, and making more mindful, sustainable choices. That matters. When you choose Turtley Yours, you’re supporting conservation, eco-conscious production, and a mission to make the world a little better — one product, one voice, one ripple at a time.
