How did the settlement between the Save the Manatee Club et al. and the Fish and Wildlife Service affect this process?
A16: The Service identified the need to review existing and potential manatee protection areas prior to recent litigation and the subsequent settlement agreement. Our foremost reason for designating these sites is to reduce the take of manatees. However, doing so also meets the requirements of the Save the Manatee Club et al v. Ballard Settlement Agreement and ensures compliance with the related U. S. District Court ruling and orders.
