If the Service reclassifies the manatees status from endangered to threatened, will such a change reduce the level of protection for the species?
A16: No. All Federal manatee conservation and protection measures, including refuges, speed restrictions and sanctuaries, remain in force. Addressing the threats associated with watercraft and habitat loss will continue to be a significant focus for the Service. This may include proposals for additional protection measures in some areas.
