Essay / Research Paper Abstract
8 pages in length. Whether hunted, poisoned by pollution, caught in flood gates or injured/killed by speedboats, Florida's manatee population faces tremendous challenges to remain intact as it looms ever nearer to extinction; of the aforementioned threats, pollution and maiming/death by recreational speedboaters are by far the most impacting. The extent to which such activities and man-made problems have placed manatees on the threshold of obsolescence is both grand and far-reaching; that man's disrespect for and indifference toward the dwindling manatee population speaks to a distinct lack of responsibility where humanity's duty as steward of the animal kingdom is concerned.

when the issue in question costs man a desired commodity such as time, money or personal pursuit. The human population cannot be contained in close quarters as the planet
reaches more than six billion; as such, someone must lose the battle over who inhabits certain locales, and people are not likely the ones to incur that loss.
Mankind bases all existence around him by his own barometer of truth. Long-standing within the narrow-minded and arrogant view of the human being has
