According to the folks at Mote Marine Labs 67 is about as cold as the water can
be before manatee start becoming cold stressed.
Without FLP the manatee would have migrated south over a month ago.
Now they hang out in the middle of the Okeechobee waterway, the only east-west
route across the peninsula of Florida. It is like putting a salt lick in the
median of I-75 and wondering why all the deer keep getting hit.



Greg,
Why is he dying?

The water temperature is around 61-63 everywhere
else
and if there is a manatee there he is dying anyway.
