*[Enwl-eng] These sweet marine mammals are dying off fast in Florida

[ENWL]

Climate change is killing off manatees.






            Hundreds of manatees are coming up dead in Florida. Sickly water 
and climate change are to blame.

                 In the first three months of 2021, already more than 400 
manatees have perished in Florida — an alarming number that's far outside of 
any normal amount. These goofy-looking marine herbivores are beloved in 
Florida and also classified as a threatened species by the U.S. government, 
so this loss is heart-breaking. So far, scientists have identified two main 
culprits for the dramatic increase in manatee deaths: climate change and 
pollution — and both are only continuing to get worse.

                  Unpredictable and intense temperature changes are 
contributing to manatees developing fatal sicknesses. Meanwhile, water 
pollution is starving the animals to death. Sewage, agricultural, and urban 
run-off — as well as habitat destruction — are all causing the mass die-of 
of a main manatee food source: seagrass. On top of all this, humans keep 
luring manatees to stay in unsafe areas by feeding them. What we think is 
well-meaning is actually leading to these marine mammals' demise. There's 
only one way to save the manatees before human-created climate change and 
pollution kills them off for good. Florida must enact new laws to tackle 
these death-dealing environmental problems.

                  Thank you,

                  P.S. Manatees are dying off at unprecedented numbers, and 
environmental catastrophe is to blame. Florida lawmakers must protect clean 
water and reduce greenhouse gas emissions before things get worse.
