CLEARWATER, Fla. - Clearwater Police Officers were dispatched to the east side of the Courtney Campbell Causeway around 6pm after receiving numerous reports of multiple beached manatees.
Upon arrival, Officers contacted the Clearwater Marine Aquarium who dispatched emergency personnel to the scene.
As it turned out, the 8 to 10 manatees were mating in the shallow water.
Several dozen people stopped and parked along the Causeway to watch, and police had to use crime scene tape to protect the sea cows from people trying to enter the water.

Manatees play hell with the water intake on power plants...to include nuclear power plants.
Oh well, can't shoot them, or eat them. Such is life...

Hi.
I only shoot what I eat. DWS will get you if you shoot them, and I don't think they are edible. Heck, if they were edible, I would have a cook out and invite all my FReeper friends.

I live near the Saint Lucie River where folks use to ride them across from the mainland over to Hutchinson Island.
Also would eat them as they make good eats.
