Stop the building of the Sunwest Harbourtowne and Park development which would starve hundreds of endangered manatees.

The proposed Sunwest Harbourtowne and Sunwest Park Development near Aripeka, Florida, in Pasco County contains several environmentally damaging and unnecessary elements that we are asking the Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) to deny as they prepare a final determination for this project -- but we need your help! These include the dredging of a new 3.1 mile long, 85-foot-wide channel through Fillman’s Bayou to provide boater access to the Gulf of Mexico. The creation of this channel would impact 27.4 acres of submerged aquatic vegetation including seagrass, along with additional wetlands impacts. Seagrass beds not only provide food and habitat to manatees, but to many other commercially important species including gamefish and shellfish. Source: Savethemanateeclub.com
