Wouldn't an equivelance be that diving be restricted at Wakulla if a manatee enters the headspring? Manatee Spring doesn't close when a manatee swims into the Suwannee River.




Better yet, I think the fact that WKPP has made numerous dives into Wakulla Spring while manatees were, not only just in the basin, in close proximity to them, without any negative impacts says alot more for the "open wakulla" cause.
