The quiet manatee has long been a flash point of frequent
environmental debates. It is Florida's most famous endangered
species, as well as its most controversial. Manatees appear on
hundreds of license plates, attract hordes of tourists, and expose
the uneasy relationships between science and the law and between
freedom and responsibility like no other animal. As passions have
flared and resentments have grown, the battle over manatee
protection has evolved into a war, and no reporter has followed the
story more closely than Craig Pittman, the first environmental
writer to explore the complex history, culture, and science of the
controversies and concerns surrounding this remarkable creature.
With an abiding interest in the uncertain fate of this unique
species, Manatee Insanity provides the first in-depth history of
the attempts to provide legal protection for the manatee. Pittman
follows Florida's gentle giants through time and space, detailing
interactions with a variety of human actors, from Jacques-Yves
Cousteau to Jeb Bush to Jimmy Buffett, from a popular children's
book author to a federal lawman who dressed in a gorilla suit for
the ultimate undercover assignment.
