How Can I Help Manatees? |
 Listen to Nancy from Save the Manatee Club: Audio Clip (.aif format) (.wav format) |
Good news
everyone--there are lots of things that YOU can do to help manatees! It
doesn't matter whether you live in Florida or outside the state. Here
are a few ideas from Nancy Sadusky of Save the Manatee Club:
Speak Out
Write a letter to Florida's Governor and tell him that
you support strong manatee protection in Florida. This will help to show
policy makers just how important manatees are. You can write, type, phone,
fax, or e-mail. It doesn't matter whether you live in Florida or not.
ANY type of letter, e-mail or call helps!
The Honorable Jeb Bush
The Capitol
Tallahassee, FL 32399
Phone: (850) 488-4441, Fax: (850) 487-0801
E-mail Governor Bush: jeb@myflorida.com

Write a your U.S. senator and representative too!

representative). Tell them how important manatees are to you, and ask
them to support protection for manatees and their habitat.
