We and allies just notified the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that we’ll sue over its foot-dragging on our petition to upgrade Florida manatees from threatened to endangered under the Endangered Species Act. Pollution-fueled algae blooms have killed nearly 2,000 of the gentle ocean mammals in the past two years alone — 20% of all Florida manatees. These beloved "sea cows" need immediate protection if they're ever to recover. | Center for Biological Diversity
