Belize, which lies on the western edge of the Caribbean Sea, is home to the largest proportion of the Antillean manatee (Trichechus manatus manatus) in its range.

贝里斯位于加勒比海的西边，是安地斯海牛（Trichechus manatus manatus）分布范围中数量最多的地区。

The Antillean manatee population is thought to number around 1,000 individuals, but tourism and boat traffic have increased substantially over the past three decades, resulting in a spike in manatee deaths and injuries.

据估计，安地斯海牛的种群数量约为 1000 头，但过去三十年间，旅游业和船只交通大幅增加，导致海牛死亡和受伤人数激增。
