Manatee Death Toll Highest Ever Recorded
Jan. 22, 2014—In Crystal Rivers, Florida, residents depend on a healthy manatee population for the local economy. But with the largest number of manatee deaths in recorded history, 2013 was a dire year, with more than 800 deaths for these friendly giants.
So sad. Louisiana Teachers Saving Manatees on Facebook. Please join!
@Jenny B.
I'm with you . Good thinking. But unfortunately, if there is money to be made, people just say " hang the consequences", and plow ahead.
thank you
Anyone there thought about taking your MOTOR boats out of the territory you are giving manatee tours on? If you care about them, why would you disrupt their waning lives with noise and risk of hurting them?? Think about it?
@Irene Hirschman
Yes, unfortunately money rules.
Sad.
