How about they just eliminate them from the ecosystem and be done with
it?

I was actually hoping they'd all swim up Harry's way and shut down *his*
boating waters. It'd be poetic justice, since, afterall, it was a
Clinton-appointed judge ( Emmet G. Sullivan) from Washington DC who ruled
in
favor of the Save the Manatee folks, and threatened to hold Sec. of
Interior
Gale Norton in contempt for not conforming to the judgement and
implementing
the manatee zones.

How did Sullivan, in siding with the Save the Manatee people "shut down
boating waters"? Did the ruling state that boats weren't allowed in the
waters anymore? Hell, I'll answer....NO.


In some waters, yes. Those are called "manatee sanctuaries". In other
waters, the bays are so shallow that they're only passable by a boat on
plane during medium or high tide. Off plane, most boats can't get through
them. So once again, yes it managed to shut down the boating waters.

Stick to what you know, basskisser. Wife beating and trailer parks.

I've arranged for one to move into your bathtub. Sorry.

Good - I wonder what manatee tastes like - beefsteak or chicken?

It's the other white meat.


As Bubba would say:

Manatee and shrimp, grilled manatee, boiled manatee, manatee on a stick,
baked manatee, manatee and onions, stuffed manatee, pineapple manatee,
poached manatee..........you get my point. ;-)

You aren't going to garner a lot of support in NC or upper SC. If you
are outside of a marked channel, running aground is a lot more of a
possibility than hitting *any* sort of marine life (other than an
oyster bed).... ditto, "within 1/2 mile of shore."

The manatee are welcome here, as they apparently inhabit waters that
are unsuitable for boating.....


The manatees are just as (or more) likely to be in the channels. There's
really no logic to the regs. I've seen a half dozen of them lining the
passes right in the middle of the channel. I've seen 'em in my canal behind
my house. All of those areas are quite suitable for boating.

Make them extinct - problem solved.

Manatees get in those canal/cesspools?

One of the good old boys had a Manatee tag on his car but they made
him change the personalized tag. It was "EAT UM"



I know that guy. And actually, it was EAT UMM, with two "M's"...but I
wouldn't characterize him as a "good ol' boy" since he's a yankee like most
of us.

Sure do. In fact, I've caught snook, redfish, snapper, and a barracuda off
my dock. How many have you caught off your dock, Kevin?

The biggest thing they could do top save the manatee is to make FPL
cool their water before they discharge it into the Caloosahatchee.
That is why the manatee are here.
The fact is the SMC forced FPL to artificially warm the water last
year because the new high efficiency power plant was not producing
enough hot water for the stinking manatee.
When you consider that this is also the only waterway that crosses the
peninsula of Florida it is like putting a salt lick in the median of
I-75 and wondering why all the deer get hit by cars!.


Exactly. The worst part is that we're paying for them (via our electric
bills) to keep the old system running just to heat the water.
