Florida Manatees Dying from Jet Skis and Powerboats

"One female manatee was hit at least 49 times by powerboats," says James "Buddy" Powell, a leading manatee expert. "We know this, because the fiftieth boat strike killed her. Sadly, this is the fate of many manatees." - excerpt from the article at http://www.defenders.org/defendersmag/issues/spring04/siren.html
