Protect Manatees From Boat Strikes and Pollution

Target: Governor Ron DeSantis, Governor of Florida, United States

Goal: Advocate for the protection of the manatee, which is threatened by boat strikes, pollution, and habitat loss.

The manatee is an iconic species that plays a critical role in the ecosystem of Florida’s waterways. Unfortunately, the manatee is under threat from multiple sources, including boat strikes, pollution, and habitat loss. The increasing number of boat strikes is leading to the death of many manatees each year, while pollution and habitat loss threaten their ability to thrive in their natural environment.

It is imperative that immediate action be taken to protect the manatee and ensure its survival. This requires the implementation of measures to reduce boat strikes, improve water quality, and protect and restore manatee habitats.

By protecting the manatee and its habitat, we can ensure the long-term survival of this iconic species and preserve the health of Florida’s waterways. The implementation of measures to reduce boat strikes, improve water quality, and protect and restore manatee habitats, can help achieve this goal.

Sign below and demand Governor Ron DeSantis, Governor of Florida, to take action and support these efforts.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear Governor DeSantis,

I am writing to urge you to advocate for the protection of the manatee, which is threatened by boat strikes, pollution, and habitat loss. The manatee plays a critical role in the ecosystem of Florida’s waterways, and its survival is essential for the long-term health of these vital ecosystems.

Unfortunately, the manatee is under threat from multiple sources, including boat strikes, pollution, and habitat loss. Each year, an increasing number of manatees are killed as a result of boat strikes, while pollution and habitat loss threaten their ability to thrive in their natural environment.

To address this issue, we need to implement measures to reduce boat strikes, improve water quality, and protect and restore manatee habitats. By doing so, we can protect the manatee and ensure the long-term survival of this iconic species.

We urge you to take immediate action and support efforts to protect the manatee and its habitat. Thank you for your attention to this critical issue.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]
