A marine visitor

We were working on the boat this afternoon (still planning on leaving
tomorrow!) when we were visited by this manatee! It's the biggest one any
of us have ever seen - also the most beat-up. Notice how half its tail has
been scalloped by close encounters with boat propellers.

Wow, how thrilling! But poor manatee. Aren't there regulations about not running your propellers in high manatee areas? It seems like there should be, though clearly I don't know much about boats.
