Join our fight to protect manatees: Your gift matched $3-to-$1.
John,
Did you hear the terrible news about manatees? According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, since the beginning of the year, nearly 1,000 manatees have died.
Why? Recurring toxic algae blooms — fueled by Big Ag’s use of fertilizers and factory farm manure — have decimated the precious seagrass and forage food manatees need to survive, resulting in manatees starving to death.
We’re fighting to hold Big Ag accountable for its pollution, and stop this disaster. Our waterways and their wildlife depend on it!

This year has brought a stream of horrible news about a beloved ocean animal: the manatee. Manatees living in Florida's waters are dying at an alarming rate. According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, since the beginning of the year, nearly 1,000 manatees have died.
Recurring toxic algae blooms — fueled by Big Ag’s use of fertilizers and factory farm manure — have decimated the precious seagrass and forage food manatees depend on. Harmful algal blooms block sunlight that seagrass and other aquatic vegetation need to survive. Blooms turn the water murky, and manatees and other species starve to death.
Food & Water Action is fighting to hold Big Ag accountable for its pollution and stop this disaster. But to protect our waterways and save wildlife, we need you with us!
Big Ag is one of the biggest polluters of our rivers, streams and lakes. But instead of enforcing the Clean Water Act to protect waterways and the animals that depend on them, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has allowed Big Ag’s pollution to go unchecked and unpunished for years.
If we want to protect manatees and their habitats, we need to take on Big Ag. And to do that, we need your help in our fight to restore environmental protections. If we don’t stand together to fight the terrible consequences of factory farming and Big Ag’s destructive pollution, the manatee's future is uncertain.
Food & Water Action is working every day to put an end to Big Ag's recklessness. Its drive for profit is killing our rivers, streams and lakes, and their wildlife. With your support, we can put a stop to Big Ag’s pollution and help protect manatees.
