Please Don't Downlist Manatees!
Submit Your Photo & Message
|
Manatees are poised to be downlisted in Florida regardless of how they are faring in the wild because of a calculated effort by special interest groups opposed to boat speed zones and restrictions on development.
In June, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWCC) will meet and vote to finalize the manatee’s listing status.
You can help! Submit a photo of yourself with a message that reads "Please Don't Downlist Manatees!" Your photo will be featured in a PowerPoint presentation we are sending to the commissioners and Governor Jeb Bush to show support for manatees. See instructions for submitting your photo below.
