Classifying manatees as an endangered species has got to be one of the
stupidest things that Federal Fish and Wildlife has ever done. It's a
classic case of government overreach from an ageny co-opted by
pressure groups.


The last line of the seal part of the story may be a more significant
reason to keep swimmer out of Crystal River than just bothering the
manatees.
I bet the fecal coliform numbers are in the high 3 digits. A manatee
****s about 10 pounds a day.

We have a friend in LaJolla and she is losing her business over
seagull ****, the other problem the LaJolla government will not do
anything about. They have taken over the business district and nobody
will let anyone to do anything to run them off. Prime commercial
property is now a guano plantation.


They are a protected species. I think federal.
