HELP OUR MANATEES
For years now manatees have been steadily recovering their populations in the Louisiana area but since the start of the pandemic and due to fishing industries and Hurricane Ida manatees populations have had a significant drop in the Louisiana area and need our help. However, those in charge of such problems have their focus elsewhere and are not acting on the negative change in our state's beloved animals. So we need you to sign this petition and get the word out there of what's happening to the manatees and that you support them in fixing this problem. HELPOURMANATEES
Why is this important?
Manatees play a vital role in the ecosystems of Louisana. They help prevent the overgrowing of seagrass which could negatively affect the state's fishing industry. They help by eating the water hyacinth and other invasive plant species hurting the lives and chances of survival of our native species. They are also important as they are living fertilizers for important plant species vital to the Louisiana food chain.
