These
passive Òsea cowsÓ have been enjoying the warm waters of the earth
for millions of years, grazing on water plants. Unfortunately, their
numbers are diminishing, as they suffer from loss of habitat, assaults
by boat propellers, and entanglement in fishing line and other human
debris. This book chronicles their life history, threats to their
continued survival, and positive steps being taken to protect them
from extinction.
