Description
It is a battle for Manatees due to low rate of reproduction, combined with habitat loss and high mortality rates often attributable to humans, threaten the manatee's chance of survival. There is currently between 3,000 and 3,500 manatees in Florida waters. Documented manatee mortality for the year 2001 in Florida waters totaled 325, from human-related activities and natural causes. Human-related mortality is due to loss of habitat, watercraft collision, pollution, litter, harassment, and flood control structures, while natural mortality is due to cold weather and red tides.
