Manatees rescued: Grate added to Satellite Beach drain pipe
SATELLITE BEACH --
It's a story people are still talking about: 19 stuck manatees rescued from a Brevard County drainage pipe. They're all free and now back safely swimming in the Indian River.
The amazing scene played out all night Monday and into early Tuesday. Now changes are in the works to make sure something like this doesn't happen again.
Workers from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, SeaWorld and local emergency personnel went late into the night to pull manatee after manatee from a tiny Satellite Beach drainage pipe.
