You should post the names of the dive groups that violate policy. That way a boycott of those companies can be organized.

This would be terribly easy to stop...have the Florida Dept. of Wildlife (or whatever analogue they have) to actually police the tour guides.

The problem is that these tours bring in vast quantities of money to these specific areas in Florida.

It's painfully easy to look the other way in such instances, especially when some of the officials in charge of policing the waters might be (probably are) elected.

This is why the kayak group I run will NEVER participate in a manatee tour.

this reminds me when an author came to our school and influenced us to adopt a manatee as a school. I donated the most and got to pick it out. we picked one named Chessie. and it feels good to help save one.

This IS terribble. Manatees are loving and gentle creatures. and THEY don't deserve this. Somthing needs to be done about this. It needs to be put to a STOP.

I LOVE Manatees. They are my favorite favorite animal. They always have been and They always will. I would give anything to swim with them. And I would do it all day if I Could.

its obvious they're distressed and the people keep insisting on touching them.
