Manatee Downlisting Not Supported by Science Or Law by Anne Harvey Holbrook, Staff Attorney Manatee Downlisting Not Supported By Science or Law By Anne Harvey Holbrook, Staff Attorney ou’ve probably heard the news: manatees have been downlisted to threatened status under the Endangered Species Act. Unfortunately, this is not the great victory for the species that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) and some news organizations are touting it as. This is not a victory for manatees, orY conservation, or science. This is a victory for anti-regulation interests who seek to dismantle endangered species and other environmental protections. It may be helpful to provide a little background: In 2007, the Service conducted a 5-year status review for the manatee, concluding that the species may be sufficiently recovered from the brink of extinction to warrant a reclassification. However, the years that followed saw record deaths from new and increasing threats, including cold Threats to manatees and their habitat continue to increase, stress in 2010-2011, which is why downlisting is premature at this time, and it is red tide in 2013, dangerous.

In 2012, the Pacific Legal Foundation (PLF), a nationwide anti-regulation law firm, filed a legal petition and threatened a lawsuit on behalf of a group of local property owners called Save Crystal River to downlist the manatee. The manatee downlisting fits into PLF’s national campaign to erode our nation’s key environmental laws; the organization recently testified in congressional hearings to advocate for reduced continued on page 6 The Official Newsletter of Save the Manatee® Club Please Take Action: 500 N.

Save the Manatee Club (Club) cautions the boating community to use vigilance to avoid injuring manatees and other marine life, as the busy waterways provide important habitat for many species. Manatees are constantly on the move, foraging and mating, and boaters are urged to be on the look- out for these slow-moving gentle mammals. The Club produces and distributes a variety of free public awareness materials.

We were also able to work with a wetsuit manufacturer in California to produce a special suit to assist manatees in Belize to maintain their buoyancy while they are recovering from lung cavity injuries caused by watercraft strikes. Our collaborator in Nigeria continues to expand his work to more villages, where with the support of Save the Manatee Club (SMC), the villagers are provided an economically viable alternative to killing manatees for food and an incentive to protect them instead. Next year, he hopes to bring representatives from the villages together at a conservation summit. Once again we provided Spanish educational materials to collaborators in Cuba working to educate fishermen about manatees and contributions they can make to manatee conservation. We are also providing funding assistance to enable tracking efforts for a female Amazonian manatee released in Brazil. In addition, we are exploring opportunities to assist colleagues in Honduras through the development of a conservation plan to protect manatees and their habitat. As a first step, we connected those working in Honduras with a researcher who specializes in finding manatees to identify which areas are most in need of protection! Antillean manatees were included in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's reclassification decision, despite strong opposition from scientists, including those of us here at SMC. Regardless of the School children in Nigeria receive Service's flawed decision-making, we remain committed to helping manatee education as part of an manatees in all of the countries where they occur.

    Population Viability Analysis of the Florida Manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris), 1976–1991 MIRIAM MARMONTEL,*† STEPHEN R. HUMPHREY,‡ AND THOMAS J. O’SHEA§i *Department of Wildlife and Range Sciences, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611, U.S.A. ‡College of Natural Resources and Environment, Box 118100, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611, U.S.A. §National Biological Service, Sirenia Project, 412 NE 16th Ave., Gainesville, FL 32601, U.S.A. Abstract: Recent development of age-determination techniques for Florida manatees (Trichechus manatus lati- rostris) has permitted derivation of age-specific data on reproduction and survival of a sample of 1212 car- casses obtained throughout Florida from 1976–1991. Population viability analysis using these data projects a slightly negative growth rate (20.003) and an unacceptably low probability of persistence (0.44) over 1000 years. The main factors affecting population projections were adult survival and fecundity. A 10% increase in adult mortality would drive the population to extinction over a 1000-year time scale, whereas a 10% decrease in adult mortality would allow slow population growth. A 10% decrease in reproduction would also result in extinction. We conclude that management must focus on retaining and improving the conditions under which manatee demography operates. The major identified agent of mortality is boat-manatee collisions, and rapidly increasing numbers of humans and registered boats portend an increase in manatee mortality. Zon- ing of manatee-occupied waters for reductions in boating activity and speed is essential to safeguard the manatee population. If boating regulations being implemented by the state of Florida in each of 13 key coastal counties are completed, enforced, and effective, manatees and human recreation could coexist indefi- nitely.

It is endemic to West Java, Indonesia, specifically around Mount Gede, Mount Pangaro and south of Sukabumi. The Bleeding Toad’s scientific name, cruentata, is from the Latin word meaning “bleeding” because of the frog’s overall reddish-purple appearance and blood-red and yellow marbling on its back. Geographical range The population declined drastically after the eruption of Mount Galunggung in 1987. It is Knowledge believed that other declining factors may be habitat alteration, loss, and fragmentation. Experts Although the lethal chytrid fungus, responsible for devastating declines (and possible Get Involved extinctions) in amphibian populations globally, has not been recorded in this area, the sudden decline in a creekside population is reminiscent of declines in similar amphibian species due to the presence of this pathogen. Only one individual Bleeding Toad was sighted from 1990 to 2003. Part of the range of Bleeding Toad is located in Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park. Future conservation actions should include population surveys and possible captive breeding plans.

The great number of literature on Ghanaian art indicates that Ghanaians including the Ga people uphold their culture and its significance. Yet in spite of the relevance and indispensable nature of clothing and adornment in the culture, researchers and scholars have given it minimal attention. The Ga people‟s desire to combine their traditional costumes with foreign fashion has also resulted in the misuse of the former, within ceremonial and ritual contexts.

  • Jewish North African Head Adornment: Traditions and Transition
    Jewish North African head adornment: Traditions and Transition Garments, head and foot apparel and jewellery comprise the basic clothing repertoire of man. These vestments are primarily dictated by the wearer's climate and environs and, further, reflect the wearer's ethnic affiliation, social and familial status. Exhibitions and museum collections offer a glimpse into the rich variety of headgear characteristic of diaspora Jews: decorated skuU-caps; headbands and head ornaments; turbans and head scarves, as well as shawls and wraps that covered the body from head to foot. Headdresses exist from Europe, Central Asia, Irán, Iraq, Kurdistan, Yemen, the Balkans and, as shall be focused upon in this text, North África. The head apparel and omamentation under discussion in this article were crafted primarily during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. However, it must be noted that Jewish garments and head apparel are known to reflect age-old cultural traditions. The artistic assemblage of head adomments was not, however, uniquely Jewish. The design repertoire of eastern Jewish headdresses was given inspiration also from the Muslim environment. Both populations, in continual fear of idolatry, tumed to symbols rich in hidden meanings and to colours ripe with magical properties. The adornments under consideration here were those worn by the Jewish populace during both ceremonial and festive occasions. Festive garb, including omamented headgear, were used in ceremonies of the life cycle ^ and on Jewish holidays ^. Undoubtedly the most exquisite items were worn by the bride and groom on their wedding day. The Song of Songs 3:11 reflects upon the age oíd custom of head adornment: «Go forth, O daughters of Zion, and behold King Solomon with the crown with which his mother crowned him on the day of his wedding...»».

  • Learning About Manatees: a Collaborative Program Between New College of Florida and Mote Marine Laboratory to Conduct Laboratory Research for Manatee Conservation
    International Journal of Comparative Psychology, 2010, 23, 811-825. Copyright 2010 by the International Society for Comparative Psychology Learning about Manatees: A Collaborative Program between New College of Florida and Mote Marine Laboratory to Conduct Laboratory Research for Manatee Conservation Gordon B. Bauer New College of Florida, U.S.A. Mote Marine Laboratory, U.S.A. Debborah E. Colbert Association of Zoos and Aquariums, U.S.A. Joseph C. Gaspard III University of Florida, U.S.A. Mote Marine Laboratory, U.S.A. Research with captive manatees initiated as part of a New College of Florida class project at Mote Marine Laboratory has yielded a wide range of research with substantive implications for management and conservation. Our training program directly supported investigations of blood chemistry, immune function, stress-related physiology, respiration, thermoregulation, and behavioral ecology. Our investigations of sensory processes included studies of visual acuity, color vision, passive and active touch, auditory frequency detection thresholds, auditory temporal processing rates, hearing in noise, and sound localization. Undergraduate and graduate students involved in this program have been successfully mentored in sensory processes, animal behavior, and conservation. Further validation of the educational benefits of studying captive manatees awaits formal research on attitude, behavior change, and public policy related to protecting manatees and other marine mammals in natural settings. The work we have described was a team effort. In addition to the authors, the core of that team also included David Mann, College of Marine Science, University of South Florida and Roger Reep, University of Florida. Wendi Fellner contributed strongly at the beginning to establish the manatee program.
