ABOUT “A MANATEE AND ITS
SAN CAP FRIENDS”
Rachel’s inspiration for her manatee comes
from her love of the environment and the
beauty of the islands. “How lucky we are,”
says Rachel, “to have such beauty in all that
surrounds us and to be able to share that
beauty with all living creatures on the islands.”
