When we moved to Brevard Co. Fl. in 1990, the $TM club was just coming onto the Manatee scene in a big way. They came to Brevard co. and said that the power plants warm water discharges were BAD for the manatee,(DUH!) because it disrupts their natural migration pattern, (South to the Caribbean for the winter). Fast forward 10 years, and the $TM are the ones who SUED the state of Fl./FPL and WON to have the heaters installed, what a flip/flop.
It's the $TM Club that's the major problem, bunch of POS's and liars!

BTW, Jimmy Buffet is an A-hole!

Bottom line, there are thousands of miles of Manatee zones in Fl's waterways now, thanks to $MC and Jimmy Stuff-it!

So they are in waterways used frequently by boaters? I guess living here we think of boating in fl as being in the ocean. In these waterways is it all idle speed? That would be the pits. Is it getting worse for boaters or is it something that has been in place for a long time?
The waterways you are speaking of, are they the way to reach open water?
Thanks for educating me.

Yes to all your q's, except some of the channels in the rivers are 25 MPH Max speed.
