We share a home with some of the world’s most unique neighbors.

See how local stewardship and supporting responsible tourism help protect the place we call home and preserve what makes our community special.

As residents of Citrus County, we’re lucky enough to live in the Manatee Capital of the World®. And while we’ll never run into these gentle giants at the local grocery store, it’s important that we treat them with the same respect we give our human neighbors!

That’s why Discover Crystal River created the Manatee Approved Eco-Compliant Partner Program. It was designed to protect not only our manatee friends, but also the crystal-clear springs and interconnected waterways that make our Florida home so unique.

Businesses who want to be a Manatee Approved Eco-Compliant Partner must meet very specific requirements — including having a brick-and-mortar location within Citrus County. It’s important to us that the people who benefit from the natural resources of our county are truly part of it.
