Are manatees going to be exstictic?

Answers:
It's estimated that as few as 1,900 Florida manatees remain in Florida waters. About ten percent die each year. How do they die? Besides natural causes of death, many are injured and killed in accidents involving boats (boat impact and propellers cause severe injuries). Entanglement, ingesting garbage in the water such as fishing line and hooks, habitat destruction, and poaching are other threats to the manatee's survival. If they continue to die at this rate, this endangered species could become extinct in the next few decades.

What You Can Do for Manatees
Observe manatee speed zones when boating.
Discard all fishing line and garbage into trash receptacles.
Call 1-800-DIAL-FMP to report an injured manatee.
Share your manatee information with family and friends.
View manatees from a distance to ensure you don't disturb them.
Dispose of pesticides, motor oil, paint, household cleaners, and other toxic wastes properly, not down the drain. Call your local waste collector to find out what to do with hazardous chemicals.
Create a recycling center in your home and recycle newspapers, plastic, glass, and aluminum cans. Donate the money to conservation organizations.
Support zoos, aquariums, and federal organizations that rehabilitate and conduct research on manatees.
Join conservation organizations that help protect wildlife such as the Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Institute.

it's a possibility that manatees will go exstictic if nothing is done to help

Extinct? Yes, unless we continue to protect them under the endanger species act and not destroy their habitat!

extinct? they will if we don't do our part to help protect them. i live at the beach and we just found a disoriented manatee in our marsh. we tried to gt it to florida to a rehab center specializing in manatees, but it died in route. it was sad. there are not many of them left.
