Florida Removes Manatee from ‘Endangered’ List

Florida's wildlife commission has voted to remove the manatee from the state's endangered species list, saying the mammals no longer qualify for endangered status, which designates only creatures that face extinction. Environmentalists object to the move, citing predictions the manatee population could decline by 50% in the next 45 years. Manatees are frequently killed by speeding boats, cold weather, and red tide algae blooms.
