No, I have never seen one in the bayou or in the lake. neither has my dad and he takes the boat out about 3 times a week.

But then again, in that area they have prob been shot

just like the gators that eat all the ducks

Anyone else find this very alarming!!!!!!

It would certainly alarm me and anyone with a half million dollar boat. I can't believe they would have 25mph speed limit on a waterway that give boaters access to travel north of Miami.
Is there any groups of people that speek out for boaters, are they getting anywhere with it?

The environmentalists are destroying all boating activities in South Florida. They have manatee zones EVERYWHERE on the intracoastal now and it's only getting worse...
