Manatees are endangered marine mammals native to Florida. They eat seagrass that grows in the water, migrate from summer habitats to winter habitats, and look for safe areas to feed and raise their young. People in boats need to give space to manatees to protect them from harm. What might conservationists do to protect manatee populations?


increase the number of boats


increase the local fish population


increase the oxygen available in the water


increase the amount of protected habitat available
