  1. These fake a$$ new stations all they want is views for there commercials, that's paid for by who knows.

  2. Damn my ex wife look awful

  3. states really need to help restore shoreline after a storm.

  4. Sanity in Florida? OUTSTANDING!

  5. finally a reason to go to Florida.

  6. When Manatees are treated better than the lgbt people in your state, you know you're fucked.

  7. Need people to care about orangutans just like is shown here. Stop buying goods made with palm oil.

  8. What wonderful news! Love manatees

  9. manatee💗💗💗💗

  10. Those folks with their fast boats and propeller blades cutting them need to be controlled too!!!

  11. I love these amazing animal…

  12. that’s awesome ❤❤❤

  13. I absolutely love the manatees. They are so sweet and gentle, and I hope we can save all of them!! We need to stop creating these fast boats that hurt these innocent creatures.

  14. Just amazing keep up the good work

  15. I love these sweet animals. So happy to hear Crystal Lake is back. Now Indian River needs to be done…..

  16. Then northerners come down who don't know and don't care about our ecosystem, and the speed their boats through known manatee areas.

  17. Extreme caution should be exercised when around these creatures as they have been known to nuzzle their victims!

  18. …damn..i was down there in the storm of '93…..blessed are those who help Gods creatures! 😀

  19. Soop beautiful ❤❤❤❤

  20. Really a beautiful story about these manatees and regrowing their habitat-the Sea Grass. Also, if the boaters in the canals heading out to sea or just putting around would simply slow down in these shallow waters — where the manatees are-that caution alone will help Save the Manatees. I Love them💖. These are Gentle, Peaceful Sweet creatures that never hurt a Soul. Hoping they keep coming back and their population continues to grow. 💖

  21. Wow! You should supply that technique to the homeless problem. 30 yrs is a long time but it's already been that long so . . .
    Get to steppin'!

    Good job guys ❤

  22. My folks live just a few hundred yards from the Indian River. Just a short bike ride away is the lagoon where i go every year to watch the manatee. One year i was able to swim with them when we were out kayaking. It was an amazing experience and these animals are incredibly sweet and gentle. It breaks my heart that their resources are in danger.

  23. Finally, some good news. God bless the people who pulled this off with His grace.

  24. Not with santos allowing his buddies to pollute

  25. Does this mean I can finally eat them again?

  26. It’s just some of that I do care about earth tlc

  27. Best news to come out of Florida in four years.

  28. This is the kind of good news I can use. ❤️☮️🙏

  29. This is excellent news! <3 <3 <3

  30. Sea grass is even more effective at sequestering climate threatening carbon than the rain forests so both the earth and the manatees thank you. Keep up the good work.

  31. ❤❤❤ so beautiful 😻❤️

  32. Please begin reporting the truth. This feel good piece failed to address the real problem. The State of Florida and the Mosaic Company are mining phosphate/uranium which has destroyed the local eco-system including the manatee's habit and food. My daughter was diagnosed with Stage 3 ovarian cancer that was directly related to this mining operation. They also fail to mention that the manatees are gathering around nuclear and coal power plants to keep warm in winter. Not a healthy environment for any animal, including humans. #FloridaPoisonedMyDaughter, #MosaicCausesCancer.

  33. Didn't Arnold Schwarzenegger to run over one

  34. It was not the storm that caused the destruction it was mankind and all the debris that we created

  35. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Thank you for your time, efforts, and care.

  36. Not going visit a state that is run by a book banning tight 🫏 genetic through back racist screwing things (including Disney)!

  37. What they are doing in FL can possibily work in other areas in cleaning their oceans.

  38. How look dolphin freshwater joining in this place? And this new the best to made if great and new great rain forest first this world COMING real for all rain forest animal paradise
