Next will be the Idle Only zones for miles if they leave it there

Nothing there for them to eat.

I saw the release truck heading to the river. Going to be anorexic in a week. Nothing in the river to eat for sure.

Manatees will eat hyacinth and if nothing else available they will eat spatterdock

Better hope they don't establish a population up there, or that most certainly will be the case..

They are already all over the place around there. They seem to like the prop. They always come up behind my boat while i'm fishing.

Yea, they're attracted to my boat as well. Always wondered if it was the color of the boat? (Blue/grey)

Maybe it's just Volusia Co that freaks out over them? You can't run above 30mph on the river down here and anywhere there's a spring or "gathering area" it's idle only..

Don’ worry they will all be dead soon. Starvation.
