Requires a study to find new warm water homes for manatees in Florida.
This bill would require the U.S. government to study new warm water places for manatees in Florida. These manatees currently rely on warm water from industrial sites that are closing down. The study would look for natural warm spots and ways to build new ones, with a public report due in 180 days.
Today, there is no federal requirement for the government to study new warm water homes for manatees in Florida. If this bill becomes law, the U.S. Interior Department would have to conduct such a study. It would also have to make the study's findings public within 180 days.
