Ban prop driven motors on the Weeki Wachee River

The Issue

For too long, Manatee have been needlessly injured by prop driven motors. The Weeki Wachee River in West Central Florida is home to many Manatee. The rivers narrow cool waters are a safe haven for many families of Manatee. I propose a ban on prop driven motors east of the snack boat or to mandate installation of prop guards to be used whilst traversing the Weeki Wachee River. Prop guards save Manatee lives. Please join in signing this petition to save the Manatee
