Interesting to see that the fisherman don't do it out of conviction but because it may give a bad image. Anything helps, I guess, like the plastic bag discussion.

They are so slow and gentle... and hugely fat too. Its a neat experience, I didn't know Okinawa actually had any that resided here. I know that they could, temperature wise, but I didn't know there were any. I have dove with manatees in FL, its a pretty neat experience. They are so slow and gentle… and hugely fat too.

In Japan they are limited to Okinawa, but are in other areas of South East Asia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dugong The dugong, or seacow, is related to the manatee.
