Manatee protection may be eroded under Trump administration's proposed changes to Endangered Species Act https://phys.org/news/2025-12-manatee-eroded-trump-administration-endangered.html 🐋 #Sirenia #MarineMammals #MarineLife #MarineBiology #Manatee #Science

The #Trump admin's announcement answers calls for revisions to the #EndangeredSpecies Act from #Republicans in #Congress & industries including #oil & #gas, #mining & #agriculture. Critics argue the landmark 1973 #EnvironmentalLaw has been wielded too broadly….

But environmentalists warned the changes could cause yearslong delays in efforts to save species such as the #monarch butterfly, Florida #manatee, California #SpottedOwl & North American #wolverine.

We got to see these mysterious creatures up close and personal. Watching them move seemed to calm my vagus nerve. Peaceful....They are mostly in the rivers, but sometimes they show up at the beach!

#FloridaMan, on #Netflix is a typical #Swamp #Noir style, semi-#comedic #series.

The #manatee bit in episode one is absolutely accurate, and the #LocalNews bit in episode two is only lightly exaggerated.

Since today, Wednesday, March 29, is Manatee Appreciation Day, I thought I’d post this photograph of a Mother Manatee and her calf statue that can be seen along the waterfront in downtown Bradenton, Florida. The manatee, aka sea cow, is a revered marine animal in this neck of the woods.

A view along the Manatee River waterfront in downtown Bradenton, FL with a bronze statue of a mother sea cow or manatee & her young calf. The manatee is revered in this city with the river & the county among other things, named for this gentle giant.
