The groups say the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has failed to protect West Indian manatees.
But tossing lettuce into the water for manatees to eat doesn’t solve the root problems behind their dwindling numbers. The marine animals are also killed by boat strikes and habitat loss, according to Center for Biological Diversity.
Establishing their status as endangered once again would push federal agencies to prioritize the safety of West Indian manatees. “This cherished species badly needs protection from the federal government, and it shouldn’t take a lawsuit to get the Fish and Wildlife Service to perform its legal duties,” Ben Rankin, a student attorney at the Harvard Animal Law & Policy Clinic, said in a statement.

The lawsuit was filed Monday in federal court in Washington. SpaceX's Starship soared 24 miles high before exploding over the Gulf of Mexico over a week ago. The rocket's self-destruct system caused the nearly 400-foot rocket to blow up, as it spun out of control. The groups say the FAA failed to fully consider the environmental impacts of the Starship program near Brownsville, Texas. The FAA declined comment on the lawsuit.
