A Three Brothers Boards paddleboard tour made the news on Friday, April 22, 2011. Participants witnessed a manatee give birth to two calves in the Halifax River around City Island in Daytona Beach. Tour guide Austin Marvin of Three Brothers Boards in Daytona Beach, FL, captured the rare event on video.
The paddleboarders heard the water moving and saw a manatee surface with a red patch of water. Moments later, a baby calf appeared. A few short moments later, an additional baby manatee appeared at the surface and took a breath of air.
