Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Establishment of an Additional Manatee Protection Area in Lee County, FL

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is re-establishing a temporary manatee refuge in Lee County, Florida, due to recent hurricanes and the need for public hearings and comments on a proposed rule. The refuge will require watercraft to proceed at slow speed or 25 miles per hour, and is intended to protect manatees in the area.
