Oh, the huge manatee!
Mebbe the Tampa Bay Times should move to Maryland.
My condo has a waiting list.
And it is all the caused by man.
Looks like there needs to be a hunting season...
I think Florida is a beautiful state. I’d like to visit when it’s not so humid though. I can’t take humidity. I worked in Texas back in 83 and it was bad. For me anyway. I love the high altitude and dry cool air.
O I thought this article was going to blame it on the unvaxed or global warming. Pollution is so yesterday.
Worrying about a non native species? Weren’t they brought here from South America? Now we have Nile lizards, Anaconda’s Iguanas, an assortment of tropical fishes, lion fishes from the pacific, frogs and toads from God knows where, ducks from Mexico, + others. Its all uncontrollable, like our immigration. And now we are being invaded by a west coast critter named Pelosi. The Manatees aren’t endangered, its the Floridians that are.
Cue the “Oh,the huge manatee” photo!
I hear the manatees taste like chicken.
It’s a sea grass shortage!!
I am serious. The population has recovered, but the care of the inland waterways has not. They don’t have the food supply to support the increased numbers. They have eaten all the sea grass, and now they are starving.
We need to ‘recover’ the tidal rivers here from 100 years of misuse.
The manatee is not native to Florida...
You forgot the mosquitoes bro.....the size of bald eagles
Manatees are destroying Florida. There is no grass left for fish to lay eggs in so the fish population is being decimated
A manatee can eat 100 pounds of food in a day, according to the University of Florida

Sounds like my three sons when they were teen agers.
This is the most asinine of Floridian accusations. The red tide and blue algae appear to have killed off the sea grasses on which the manatees feed.
“””Florida is evil. You liberals won’t want to move here.”””
So true. Florida had a population of 2.8 million people in 1950 and today the population is over 22 million.
Liberals and conservatives keep moving to Florida to escape the Democrat run hell-holes in the Northeast and Midwest.
The Florida Land Developers are more than happy to convert Florida’s grasslands and farms into sprawling gated communities for those refugees from Democrat run hell-hole states.
As the song says: “Pave over paradise and put up a parking lot.”
Did they mention the record cold or the hundreds that get hit by boats every year?
You forgot about the brain eating amoebas. The ones found in water, not the political kind.
Manatees are not native to Florida, so the leftists would want them all to die if they were consistent in wanting everything to return to a natural state.
