Dozens of people from federal and state agencies on Tuesday rescued a 10-foot-long manatee trapped in the perilously cold water of Trinity Bay, hundreds of miles from its Florida home. Garrett flew in late Monday night to guide the rescue operation for the manatee, a member of an endangered species. The slow pace of the rescue operation left more than two dozen staff and volunteers standing in the cold themselves. The manatee apparently failed to head back to his winter home in Florida in time to avoid the cooling Texas water, so he holed up next to a warm water outlet coming from the NRG Cedar Bayou plant. With one eye on the weather forecast, experts had rushed in from Sea World San Antonio, the Marine Mammal Stranding Network and U.S.
