  • U.S. MAY LOSE ITS MERMAID -- August 10, 1969
    DEPARTMENT of the INTERlOR news release FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife For Release August 10, 1969 Walker 343-2463 Carroll 343-5634 FEATURE U.S. MAY LOSE ITS MERMAID The United States may lose its mermaid, or at least the sea creature that sailors of old mistook for mermaids--after the sailors had been at sea a long time. That creature is the manatee or sea cow, a mammal presently threatened with extinction in U.S. waters. A manatee just isn't a pretty mammal: it weighs almost half a ton when fully grown and has a blunt, whiskered face with prominent nose. The body is rotund, with hind limbs replaced by a flat rounded tail. This and the flippered forelimbs enable it to move sluggishly in the water. As a mammal it must surface to breathe, but can remain submerged for long periods before rising to float lazily on the surface. Today the manatee thrives in South and Central American waters, but the only remaining population in the United States lives along the southern shores of Florida. It once did well from North Carolina to Texas, but numbers and range have been shrinking dramatically in the 20th century. The Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife of the Department of the Interior has classified the animal as endangered, which means that protective measures must be taken or it may become extinct in the United States. Top Bureau officials believe current legal protcctl.nn in Florida should be continued and enforced rigorously. More sanctuaries should be set aside.
