TOXIC THIRST: Manatees Drinking from Wastewater Upwellings Near Shallow Sewage Wells on Stock Island

Tell Regulators: No More Sewage in Sanctuary Waters!

Regulatory agencies can stop this pollution if they will enforce the law that already exists. Please sign our
PETITION to stop shallow
sewage wells.

“I watched manatees drinking from those upwellings. That contaminated sewage effluent with all its dangerous chemicals and bacteria is really harmful to these manatees already embattled for their survival.

​

It was very unpleasant to SCUBA in, too"

​

– Dr. Matt Finn, Ph.D. marine biologist and ecologist.
