Test feeding plan in works for starving Florida manatees | AP News

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and state environmental officials intend to unveil a limited proposal this week to feed the beloved marine mammals in one specific Florida location to test how it works. This is not usually done with any wild animal, but the situation has become such an emergency that it has to be considered, said Save The Manatee Club Executive Director Patrick Rose.

“It’s the entire ecosystem that is affected by this and will be affected for a decade to come,” Rose said in an interview Tuesday. “This is a necessary stopgap measure. It is a problem created by man and man is going to have to solve it.”A Fish and Wildlife Service spokesman said in an email that the agency “does have approval to move forward on a limited feeding trial” but that details are not yet finalized. A formal announcement is expected later this week.

Manatees have long struggled to survive with humans. Hundreds of the slow-moving animals are struck every year by boats, which has led to no-wake manatee zones throughout Florida with violations punishable by significant fines. But the starvation threat has led to a record 1,017 manatee deaths as of Nov. 19, according to state figures.This has been caused mainly by runoff from farms, urban areas and sewage that promotes growth of blue-green algae and other harmful organisms.

😢😢😢 So sad

Manatee’s extinction will be only one of the many climate distress tragedies fermented by our simpleton society.

Those are just Florida tourists

we did the same with roe deers in the Alps (italy) some years ago. Deers survived and their number increased rising problems of territoriality. Deers came down close to town and wolves followed them. Now we have wolves in the backyards, attacking dogs in the gardens. GOOD JOB

Sad to hear that the whole ecosystem is being damaged and that the peaceful manatees are paying the ultimate painful price by starving to death.

That will only end up polluting the water more if they don’t fully consume any vegetation left in the water for them. Also Florida has both a huge cattle industry & a million golf courses, which causes a lot of the runoff that feeds algae blooms that kill the seagrass they eat.

Thank FL Republicans for deregulating corporations and allowing them to release toxic chemicals and raw sewage off the coast. If you love manatees and wildlife, Stop👏F**king 👏Voting 👏For 👏Republicans.

This is so sad 😞

Believe is essential I gave you my trust and you didn't break it, you are who you say you're Nichelle_1111 I'll keep letting people know about your goodness and guarantee business Nichelle_1111

Republican grifters see nothing wrong with starvation just as long it’s not their wallet. LookTheOtherWay on climate change.

Florida Republican policies are killing manatees. Stop. Voting. For. Republicans.

All his fault
