Manatees in court
NOYB wrote in message hlink.net... Great idea. Let's just shut down the entire ICW on the East and West Coasts, too, while we're at it! Putz. From what I read in here, it's almost that way already. |

... Avoid hitting an annimal that Is not from Florida, does not belong here, is not endangered, and had taken over your voting, boating, and docking (building ) rights. Believe me when I tell you that I try very hard to see both sides of this issue, especially since I don't know a lot about it. But "does not belong here"? Wherever they are, they're there for a reason, so you may as well adjust as much as possible. It sounds like you try. |

I think *your* government should. Our government is happy the way things are. Actually, our government doesn't KNOW where it is. :-) A tax break for buying light trucks? Hello??? |

If you move to a new neighborhood and the locals don't like your family, is it OK for them to run you down with their cars? :-) |

email name. Bill,Your a coward, hiding behind it. but then,,,,that figures. Guess I asked for it, trying to post on topic, with factual information, instead of grade school banter. |

Wherever they are, they're there for a reason, so you may as well adjust as much as possible. It sounds like you try. They are there because they can. They eat a particular type of sea plant which otherwise quickly fills shallow water so it is unuseable by boats, power and sail. I believe the plant is an exotic import, like zebra mussels are. Manatees are the only way to control the Japanese sea cabbage, or whatever it is. To be cynical, the only reason they need protecting is so that waters attractive to boats remain open. Mind you, they also destroy habitat for young fish, who find shelter from predators in the weeds, and snails to eat, or something that lives on the weed. I forget the names of all the interacting organisms. That's why its called ecology, because it's complex. Who is to define the "Proper natural balance?" What will we eat when the little fish do thier thing, or don't? Speed should be regulated according to depth. Who's in a hurry, anyway, and why? Terry K |

The reason these laws keep getting thrown out is they don't use any science to
determine what the speed limit should be. Around here they have the 25MPH zones exactly where you are most likely to hit a manatee and it is "slow" speed where you seldom ever see one. That is what happens when you have knee jerk polititians making these rules. |
