Disgusting Florida.................................... SAVE ENDANGERED MANATEES! Two manatees graze each other on the nose. (Photo deleted) Help us win pollution standards that will protect this gentle creature. Donate Now! Dear Judith, The manatee death toll across Florida is rising. A record 755 endangered manatees have now died in the state’s algae-choked waterways this year. Yet the Environmental Protection Agency continues to side with agribusinesses, pushing for loopholes to allow even more pollution. Earthjustice’s Florida office is fighting for pollution standards that will help save the gentle manatee. But we need your support to win this battle. Please, while there is time left, help us protect endangered manatees and hold dirty polluters accountable in court. For more than two decades, Earthjustice has fought for manatee protections in court—and won. Fighting in court to stop dangerous back-room deals between Florida and the EPA that give loopholes to dirty and polluting industries Using the law and the power of the courts to strengthen pollution standards across Florida Battling to restore Florida’s waterways and halt environmentally destructive practices and projects such as the Rodman Dam In the last few months, Florida’s waters have become so toxic in places like Brevard County that residents are told not to even touch the water. These are the very waters that manatees and other wildlife depend on to survive. Help us fight back to clean up these toxic waters, hold polluters accountable, and protect endangered manatees. Thank you for all that you do, David Guest picture David Guest Managing Attorney Earthjustice, Florida Office P.S. A record number of dead manatees are washing up in Florida right now!
