SUMMARY:The Struggle to Live: Why Florida IRL Manatees Starve with SCPA
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Wanda Jones\, a marine mammal biologist and conservationist\, has conducted research on manatee feeding preferences and compared the nutrient composition of lettuce\, water hyacinth\, and hydrilla. Dr. Jones states that the science is clear. Instead of spraying deadly herbicide poison into our water to kill hydrilla and water hyacinth\, she advocates mechanically harvesting these nutritionally superior plants to feed the manatees in an attempt to save them from starvation. Officials counter that would be too difficult. \nJoin us on Thursday June 2nd for this timely presentation as we think outside the box and explore another avenue to help save our beloved manatees. \nZoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84175950107\nID: 841 7595 0107 \nFace Book Live:\nhttps://www.facebook.com/SCPAFlorida/
