that and if not for the springs and the power plant discharge they wouldnt have made it this far north

I met a lady who hates them . "they're too slow / they are not smart / they get in the way of developers making nice neighborhoods near the water" !

We killed the grass. Manatees had no issues for thousands of years.

Catfish eat sea grass too, but nothing compares to man.

Banging the dead horse. Raining hard. Half the lawns along Rockledge Drive and up the side streets toward US1 got sprayed yesterday. Here in the middle lagoon the water got really nasty in the late 70s and early 80s. Then our houses right on the slope between US1 and the river got converted to sewer. Water quality improved. New lawns and added burdens on the sewer system have overwhelmed the positive changes of the past. Kind of sad watching the runoff running down the street this morning. People don't even bother to keep the leaf litter and grass out of the runoff.

Te river looked camouflage after the recent spate of rain. Not good, not good at all.

Panda, do you have a link to the construction work?

Growing up on the river in the 50s through the early 70s a manatee was an uncommon sight, saw more gators and sharks than a couple sea cows a year.

The river has been nice and clear, but the rains will be taking care of that soon. I just watched two months of God knows what from the yards and the streets get flushed into the river.

I went to the "florida oceanographic society" center in stuart and they are growing manatee, turtle, shoal grass and other types. It was crazy to see and brought back tons of memories. They had some in a tank and you could see the hundreds of baitfish and juvinile gamefish thriving in the stalks........very cool to see but also a sad reminder how bad it is.......
