Where would the manatee refuges and sanctuaries be located?
A6: At this time, we are in the process of completing our review of all the recommendations, pre-proposal comments, and best biological data and have not made final site selections. In the proposed rule, we will identify counties where we believe federal actions may be warranted and will propose establishment of manatee protection areas in these counties. We are coordinating our efforts closely with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
