| 1982 | Recent survey on the distribution of the African manatee. Sci. Rept. Whales Res. Inst. No. 34: 137-147. 2 figs. Dec. 1982. –An interview survey in 1980-81 found evidence of T. senegalensis mainly in the Niger River and its tributaries; also in the Sanaga and Ivindo Rivers in Cameroon and Gabon, respectively; and in Gambia, Ivory Coast, and Ghana to some extent. They were found to be scarce or absent elsewhere, and not found at all in salt water. [More recent work by J. A. Powell, Jr., casts doubt on the accuracy of many statements in this report.] Points out the need for an international conservation strategy for the manatee. | ||
