The Rasch Outdoor Chronicles: Boating in Cooler Weather, Watch Out for Manatees!

The Rasch Outdoor Chronicles: Boating in Cooler Weather, Watch Out for Manatees!

Albert At The Rasch Outdoor Chronicles reminds us that:

"Recent cold weather means high numbers of manatees may be concentrated in warm-water refuges near power plants, rivers and springs throughout the state. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) cautions boaters to be on the lookout for manatees moving into the Intracoastal Waterway to reach warm-water refuges at power plants and springs. Boaters should slow down and strictly obey posted speed restrictions in manatee protection zones."

Cheers,
Mike S
