KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- After removing a young manatee from the van that brought it from Sea World, Orlando, Fla., workers get ready for the final step, releasing it into the Banana River behind them. The site is on the north side of the NASA Causeway, near Kennedy Space Center. The calf was one of two manatees being released after recovering from injuries. Manatees are frequently seen in the waters around Kennedy Space Center, which is surrounded by the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge
