ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Manatees that are dying by the hundreds mainly from pollution-caused starvation in Florida should once again be listed as an endangered species, environmental groups said MondayThe petition filed with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service contends it was an error to take manatees off the endangered list in 2017, leaving the slow-moving marine mammals listed only as threatened. They had been listed as endangered since 1973.
The petition, also sponsored by the Save the Manatee Club, Miami Waterkeeper and others, contends that pollution from fertilizer runoff, leaking septic tanks, wastewater discharges and increased development is triggering algae blooms that have killed much of the seagrass on which manatees depend, especially on Florida’s east coast.That resulted in the deaths mainly from starvation of a record 1,100 manatees in 2021 and is continuing this year, with at least 736 manatee deaths reported as of Nov.
“Re-designating manatees as endangered will be a critical first step in righting a terrible wrong,” Rose said.

Any righteous governor would attend to this matter. And if that Republican presidential hopeful Gov. Ron DeSantis lived in Florida, you know he would have taken care of it by now.
DeSantis - Toxic Waste - Tampa Bay - Red Tide - Florida
Screw that federal government overreach. That means oppression of everyone's freedom. Fuck that.
When you pour 287million gallons of TOXIC WASTE into Tampa Bay… this is what you get! Thanks DeSantis
That’s because our elected officials ( DeSantis) and the USArmyCorps continue to pour toxic waste into Tampa Bay, Florida. Piney Point, Lake O , Mosaics = toxic waste

shomaristone Please report the news, don't sensationalize it and make it the Norm.
shomaristone Do you want to elaborate a little more than Manatees are dying. How about why, who and how. Climate Change and War are going to cause major food shortages in the next few years. Clean drinking water will become scarce. Political turmoil caused by the Rich.
shomaristone The real legacy of Ron Desantis ☝🏼
Way to go Florida legislature. Your voters should be so proud.
shomaristone This is sad
Florida, do better!
In FL, democracy is an endangered concept.

Florida is a shithole state! irestmycase
Seagrass? Let's mass pollinate and produce the stuff and boat dump mass seagrass buffet bombs so the manatees can pig out on the stuff. Those are manatees dammit.
The Land Cow DeSatan will not allow it. Republicans don’t care if they kill these gentle sea cows. Instead of cleaning up our waters, he’s more interested in fighting with Disney.
They’re dying because of overpopulation of the species. Natural selection at work.
If they don't vote Republican Ron doesn't care
All causes (again) by the policies of whites and the pollution of whites who are the majority polluters in the area where manatees live. Prove ne wrong. Brought to you by the letter 'p'.
Do it
😢
You can’t win in Florida.
Sadly, this situation is not going to change under the supposed 'leadership' of DeSantis. People move here for the weather and the beaches. But, who'll want to come here when massive hurricanes will continue to destroy their properties and the beaches are so polluted with red ...

Oh shit
Republicans said Florida is where Wokeness comes to die
Not sure if this is true news or fake...you make so much fake news no one knows...I think I will just ignore it until you're a reputable news sourse...
You should list 🏳️🌈 as endangered too. God is taking care of them
Or maybe they should become extinct. Ya know, some species are supposed to become extinct. I believe humans need to become extinct. 🤷🏼♂️
The deep state polluted Florida.
Yadda Yadda Yadda.
