While you may think this photo is of Stacey Abrams and Ana Navarro, it is actually a photo of Florida manatees. Florida state wildlife officials are looking to protect the manatees as they congregate near the Florida Power & Light power plant.
Hoping to protect manatees as they congregate this winter, state wildlife officials Tuesday issued an emergency rule that will temporarily prevent boating in an area of the Indian River Lagoon near a Florida Power & Light power plant.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission rule will create a “no entry zone,” effective Nov. 15, in water adjacent to FPL’s Cape Canaveral Energy Center and in an intake canal. Manatees gather near the power plant in the winter because of warm water.
You maniacs, this is EXACTLY how Godzilla came to power!
The commission also issued a similar 90-day emergency rule in December 2021, as it grappled with a record number of manatee deaths. Emergency rules are only temporary. A notice published Tuesday in the Florida Administrative Register said the commission during a meeting Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 will start the process of creating a permanent rule on the issue.
I anxiously await the manatees new brains which overtake those of humans; although the manatees are already much smarter than John Fetterman.
