manatees, what s it with them? I read on various forums everyone complaints
about manatees


Speeds over five or so are forbidden along large stretches of the ICW
in Florida, so that boats wouldn't hit them. There aren't nearly as
many killed, or collecting prop scars, in recent years.

I regularly see Manatees on the Wakulla River and they seem to sleep
right at the surface so one can approach em in a canoe and get right
next to them. It is easy to see how they get hit by props sleeping
like that. I saw one this past March with numerous prop scars. The
one I saw last week seemed to have none.
