COLD CASE DEATHS: Picture a dead manatee washed up on the shoreline. Now, picture a dozen of the gentle sea cows dead. Picture 50 in the water, their bodies lifeless.

Picture 97 dead manatees and you'll get an idea how severe the death toll was last year. That's the number that died last year on the Treasure Coast alone, compared with 42 the previous year. It's almost impossible to picture the 767 manatees that died in Florida waters last year, an estimated 500 killed by cold weather.
