KSC announced award of a $25 970 contract to the research institute at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta to develop an automatic manatee-tracking system for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Attempts to track the manatee, an endangered aquatic mammal, had failed because of poor monitoring systems. Tracking the movements of about 100 manatees in the Banana and Indian Rivers and Mosquito Lagoon near KSC would provide scientists with data on their living habits. (KSC Release 77-77)
