Swimming slowly through coastal waters in Florida, the Caribbean, and West Africa, manatees can cover up to 25 miles in a day. These gentle plant eaters, who inspired the mermaid myth, are endangered throughout their range by human activity.

Florida's King's Bay is one of the most dangerous places for manatees. Show your support for a proposal that would restrict boat speeds there and make manatee harassment illegal.
