        In tandem with pollution, jet skis are wreaking havoc. These can easily go over 50 mph. Neither manatees, human swimmers, nor birds have a chance against them. Jet skis are highly unsafe, noisy, pollute, and, for all the above, need to be illegal on public waterways.

        This situation occurred several years ago when the Save the Manatee Club made its big push. The ideal is super, but the reality is not. Yes, they are large docile creatures that have a place in Florida. However, when steps are taken to increase their numbers above and beyond what the natural food supply will support, the situation that we have now takes place. Mess with Mother Nature, and you create a second problem. I guess it is a steep learning curve.
