  • Florida’s iconic sea cows are dying in record numbers. Years of declining seagrass beds have eliminated one of the gentle giants’ primary food sources. Now wildlife managers have taken the unprecedented step of feeding the animals, while scientists are in a race against time to restore the lost seagrass.

    Why has there not been developed a way to skim the algae blooms off the surface of the water so the sunlight can get to the sea grass?

      It’s microscopic suspended algae there would be no reliable way to skim it off. It’s better to ádrese the runoff directly instead.

      Its not even about that. Its the FWC. Those assholes are spraying their chemicals and depleting the water of all oxygen. They've killed countless wildlife because they are tied to chemical lobbyist groups as well as land developers. The chemical spraying companies are illegally spraying private property at gunpoint against the will of the landowners. You can look it up yourself. Look up "k nep environment".

    Because I'm also a human and are they being trafficked? Yes. Who? Cows and sea cows. Why.

    Why do you claim to want to save the manatees when you let the crabbers go through the manatee Zone at full speed and nobody stops them there is no reason for a crabber to speed those crabs will stay alive for 5 hours in that boat

      Yeah not to mention all the chemical spraying the FWC does. I've seen manatee eat on peoples LAWNS because the FWC killed off ALL of the plants in the water. They even force the chemical spraying on private land owners. They literally hold people at gun point. I know it sounds unbelievable, but look it up for yourself. The FWC has at least 4 key members who are land developers and many others make money off of the chemical spraying they do. To top it all off, they apparently spend over 10 million tax dollars a year to spray the waterways. We are literally paying them to destroy the everglades instead of saving it. Don't even get me started on the burmese pythons. They intentionally time the python hunts so that they never die off. Florida WANTS the pythons there because it makes them money and gets them tourism. They literally just pretend like they want them gone. The figures about all the dying wildlife that they attribute to the pythons is also (mostly) due to their chemical spraying. The FWC is as corrupt as they come.
      Oh yeah, the FWC also murders people's perfectly legal pets.
