Whales and Manatees need our help. Since
Jaxport has allowed Larger Ships to enter the Narrow St. Johns River There were 337
Manatee deaths
whales in jacksonville. last year, Jaxport has failed to reduce its speed ,Monitor its wake when transiting the Channel. The size of some of these ships along leave barely enough room to pass without huging the banks of the river causing a vast suction leaving no room for any size of whale of Manatee's to escape causing severe trama and
Death.We have to do something to help these whales and Manatees before Jaxport runs amok allowing foreign flaged ships to disregard its speed while entering the narrow channel.
Reasoning, diplomacy and direct action and calls to the Captain of the Port,The City Council,and your local representives may change the way the Port does its business, Especially when Jaxport through its tenants have all failed to stop the needless deaths so far. Jaxport interests that control these Foreign Flaged Ships entering Jacksonville simply ignore all critics.
But, we can’t give up now. We have to limit the number of ships that enter the channel at one time and keep pressuring Jaxport ,our leaders until the whales and Manatees are saved.
