尽管有海牛死亡，但美国机构仍将佛罗里达州海牛视为“受威胁”，而不是“濒危”。 Despite manatee deaths, U.S. agency keeps Florida manatees as "threatened," not "endangered."

美国人 The U. S. The U.S. 鱼类和野生动物管理局（Fish and Wildlife Service）决定将佛罗里达州海牛归类为“受威胁”，而不是将其升级为“濒危”，尽管环保人士对最近海牛数量急剧下降表示担忧，包括2000多头海牛因饥饿而死亡。 Fish and Wildlife Service has decided to keep Florida manatees classified as "threatened" rather than upgrading them to "endangered," despite environmentalists' concerns over recent severe declines, including more than 2,000 deaths due to starvation. 美国政府确实将波多黎各的安提利亚海重新归类为"危物种". The agency did reclassify Antillean manatees in Puerto Rico as "endangered." 自然保护者认为,这项决定未能解决水污染和气候变化等持续威胁。 Conservationists argue the decision fails to address ongoing threats like water pollution and climate change.
