Governor Crist Needs to Hear from You Now!

Attend Manatee Downlisting Meeting on September 12th

or Send a Quick Online Letter

 

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) meeting is

coming up quick. On September 12th, the final step in downlisting the

manatee from " endangered " to " threatened " status at the state level will be

brought before the Commission, which is comprised solely of members

representing strong development interests.

 

We need your help! If you haven't yet taken action, here's two things you

can do:

 

Please attend the FWC meeting on September 12th at the St. Petersburg

Hilton. The manatee issue is early on the agenda, so plan to be there by

9:00 a.m. Please contact Janice Nearing, our Director of Public Relations,

at 1-800-432-JOIN (5646) if you plan to attend.

If you can't attend the meeting, please click below to send an online letter

to Florida Governor Charlie Crist and FWC Commission Chairman Rodney

Barreto, opposing the manatee's state reclassification, the Management Plan,

and the cutbacks in on-water law enforcement officers and funding for the

rescue of injured manatees, which will likely lead to even more manatees

needlessly dying. Please help now!
