Marine mammal rescuers devised a plan to capture the sea cow and return it to Florida's warmer waters. However, no one has seen Ilya since Friday afternoon.
Bob Schoelkopf (SHELL'-koff) of the Marine Mammal Stranding Center says he hopes Ilya is heading south on his own.
Schoelkopf asks anyone who sees the manatee to call the stranding center at 609-266-0538 because Ilya may still need help.
