New Federal Laws Inadequate for Protecting FL Manatees

"Earlier this year, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service agreed to propose regulations intended to provide much-needed protection for manatees in three areas of Florida. Save the Manatee Club is extremely disappointed in the Service's final rule, which was published on August 1 and is woefully inadequate. This was an obviously political decision -- certainly not one based on sound science or public support." - excerpt from the Save the Manatee Club web site at http://www.savethemanatee.org
