Sean Carroll on regaining manatees and fish at Scientific American. He does make a political point. |

When did manatees become threatened?" Not yet. There is a proposal to downlist from "endangered" to "threatened". http://www.fws.gov/northflorida/manatee/manatees.htm

Yeah, there weren't any, so why protect them. Now there are more. I'm sure that had nothing to do with protections. Seriously, WTF dude? Either no logic or no communications skills or...likely...both. ------------------------- Wiki wiki |

They are one of those "non native" species we cater too, plus they ate all the dang sea grass!

Native tribes in our area used them as a food source 15,000 years ago.
If 15,000 years doesn't qualify them as Florida natives, nothing does. ------------------------- I was right. |

There are three species of manatee, only one in Florida, the "West Indian Manatee", Trichechus manatus latirostris. The other two species exist in the Amazon River and on the west coast of Africa. ------------------------- add a signature since I'm here in profile anyway |

The West Indian manatee's range is from the southern United States throughout the Caribbean Islands, Central America, and to northern South America.
In the United States, the Florida manatee, a sub-species of the West Indian manatee, inhabits the state’s coastal waters, rivers and springs. Some Florida manatee are known to travel up the eastern coastline into Georgia, the Carolinas, and a few travel as far north as Massachusetts during warm months.

The West Indian Manatee swam here 20,000 or 50,000 or 100,000 years ago. It is a native species.

It can't adapt to boat propellers.

Once there was a cold adapted siren, similar to manatees, "Steller's sea cow", now extinct. It lived in the north Pacific until around the middle 1700's. It apparently couldn't adapt to people eating it.
