project idea
I have lernt about manatees. To clect infomashion by yousing books and by going on the compuota.
Phyisical Description

manatee conservation
project idea.
we have been lerning about manatees because manatees are allmost now
gone.
collecting information.I found information by looking at books and the computer .
physical description.
all manatees have no eyebrows.manatees are big as a elephant.manatees are very fat.manatees have thick grey skin.they are mamals .two front fippers for crawling,and a big paddle tail.manatees have a small eye.
diet.
seagrass ,seaplant.
Habitat
in florida south america,west india they must live in warm water with lots of seaplant.threats poisan in there water ,getting choped up by speed boats,getting caught by a fishing net.
In this project I will now use all of my reserach to help design a plan to save the manatee.
My solution.
when people are going in there boat they can drive were manatees are,
but they have to look out for the manatees,so they wont get killed by the boat,but if they dont listern we will charge them lots of money.if they still don't lisern we will charge them evan more money.

manatee conservation
project idea
we have been learnig about manatees how they are endanged. They are getting
hurt by boats and getting hunted and the sea getting poisend and there is not
enough of food.
Collecting Information.
I got all this information from books,internet,libery.
Physical description
mantees have thick grey skin
they are related to elephants
mantees have no eyebrows. they are mammals. two front flippers for crawling. and a big paddle tail. and mantees are very fat. They have a small eye.
diet
sea grass,sea plants.
habitat
in florida south america,west india they must live in warm water with lots of sea plants.
threats
poisan in there water,getting choped up by speed boats,gettingcaught by a fishing nets.
In this project I will now use all of the informatioin I researched to design a solution, a plan to save the manatees.
My solution.
I am going to do three seprate places one place for fishing second place is for all
the boats and the third one is for the mantees to swim and eating.
These areas will be made by floating fences and signs along the coast water.
these areas will be watched manatee guards.
The money for this project will come from donations.
If the boat goes into the mantees place someone would say that is the mantees
place.

Project manatee conesvation
prject idea.
iim loking at manatees they live in the florida.manatees are nearly been kild because speed boats just run over them.
Collecting Information.
i ound abuot manatees from looking in books and the inter net.
Physical description
well a mahey look likke mermaidsit has to wide eyes it has to front flipers to crawl whith.. They have to come up to air even need air.
diet
they eat sea grass alot,
habitat
they live in florida and west indis in the warm shallow water
threats
speed boats arspeed boats are killing them fishind lines.
My solution
I am going to put camras in hiddin places. these camras are going to record boats if they are driveing over them.

Manatees.

The Florida manatee, Florida’s state marine mammal, is a large aquatic relative of the elephant. They are greyish brown in colour and have thick, wrinkled skin on which there is often a growth of algae. Their front flippers help them steer or sometimes crawl through shallow water. They also have powerful flat tails that help propel them through the water. Despite their small eyes and lack of outer ears, manatees are thought to see and hear quite well.
Destruction and degradation of their coastal and freshwater habitat. The leading known cause of death is by boat strikes; propellers and hulls inflict serious or mortal wounds. Most manatees have a pattern of scars on their backs or tails after surviving collisions with boats. Scientists use these patterns to identify individuals. Manatees are also vulnerable to cold water. They have been found crushed or drowned in flood-control gates and suffer harm from exposure to toxic red tide. In addition, a large number of manatees die from unknown causes each year.
In this project we will be developing of research skills to create ideas for a project themed on Manatee conservation.
The learning and skills we discover in this project will help us with our own research projects.
