Manatees are dying. We're trying to force the state and the EPA to protect them


As we watch despairing news of starving manatees, many have been hoping someone will do something to stop this environmental nightmare. On Dec. 20, a group of committed conservationists took action and put the government on notice that we intend to file suit.

It is critical to remember that the United States of America has laws to protect clean water and the species that depend on those waters, and that’s why we’re heading to court. Earthjustice is representing the Center for Biological Diversity, Defenders of Wildlife, and the Save the Manatee Club — three groups that have spent years collecting crucial scientific data and repeatedly warning that manatees are in trouble.
