Manatees in Florida are dying off at record rates. More than 20% of the manatees—close to 2,000—have perished in the past two years.

More than 740 manatees died just last year, following a catastrophic 2021 for these gentle giants, when more than 1,100 perished. 

These animals are starving to death due to loss of seagrass, and swimming through some of the worst pollution they've ever known. 

Manatees are currently listed as "threatened," but it's clear they urgently need the full power of the Endangered Species Act.  

Tell the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to uplist Florida’s manatees to “endangered” to guarantee their survival. 

The manatee die-off has already taken more than 12% of their total population — and it isn't stopping. We must act now to protect them. 

Manatees are a keystone species. When they thrive, other plants and animals benefit, too. When they're in trouble, it's a powerful warning about the fate of Florida's aquatic ecosystems.

The spike in manatee deaths is ecocide — it has to stop now. 

Join the outcry: tell the Fish and Wildlife Service that manatees should be fully protected under the Endangered Species Act before it's too late.
