Human causes of death are motorized boats, chemical pollution, harassing manatees, American tourism andFishing industry. However, the way people can help protect endangered species from traveling through manatee zones with non-motorized boats, or turning the engine off. Manatees are slow moving and often in the water, leading to collisions with motorized boats sunk. Because drivers are not careful, propellers causing deep wounds on his back, too bad viral infection and / or scarring.
