Florida officials seek smaller marina to protect manatees
Original: To better protect manatees, state wildlife officials want to downsize Seaquarium marina
Florida state wildlife officials are pushing to downsize the marina at the Miami Seaquarium as a measure to better protect manatees in the surrounding waters. The proposal would scale back boat operations at the attraction's docks, reducing risks to the threatened marine mammals. It comes amid ongoing scrutiny of the Seaquarium's animal care practices and its future operations.
Why now: Wildlife officials have launched a new regulatory effort targeting the Miami Seaquarium's marina over manatee safety.
