A man commented he witnessed a boater running over a group of manatees out on the water Brian Elms commented the sad strike occurred earlier this week near Cape Coral He revealed the driver of the boat was not paying attention to where they were driving instead they were looking over at him when they stormed through the group If you pop out at the wrong time where it narrows over there I mean you re getting clipped This isn t just a manatee issue declared Elms Elms mentioned he worries that it could happen again He adds speeding through the stream endangers not only sea life but kayakers as well It remains unclear if the manatees retained any injuries
