Above Photo: A Sea Cow in Mobile. No, I'm not talking about the fat Mayor, rather the fat marine mammal called a Manatee. Here is one chowing down on submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV). A baby manatee was recently found dead. What might kill a baby manatee besides toxic pollution? Anything that might trap one underwater preventing it from coming up for air, like netting. Here in Mobile, there are no watershed monitors to check for netting hazards so they can be removed. Here in Mobile, the City won't even remove the public trash from their public waterways. The founding fathers of this country must be saddened to see America turning into one big garbage dump. Happy Independence Day.

The Manatee Sighting Network (MSN) website posted the above picture of a live manatee and said they responded to a report of a dead baby manatee in Dog River watershed on June 19, 2013. According to MSN, this is the first documented warm season manatee mortality in Alabama waters. Why am I not surprised it happened in the Dog River watershed? Especially near Moore Creek and McCullough Bayou, both of which are recipients of the City of Mobile's storm water garbage and raw sewage pollution. Once the public's trash and poop hit the water, the City of Mobile ignores it. That can't be good for large marine mammals that live in Dog River during their yearly migration.
