Ted Forsgren Quotes (3 Quotes)

The herd is still expanding. In 2001, the Save the Manatee Club was saying they were on the brink of extinction and it was right about the same time a count of 3,300 came out.

We think manatee zones can be implemented that protect manatees and still provide reasonable access for boaters. That's been our argument all along, and I think the commission is becoming more and more receptive.

We felt it was very important to let people know there are more manatees now than there were 25 years ago. So we're not in any emergency situation we are in a situation where we have to manage the species carefully.
