Save the Manatees! Remove the Lock.

If Matlacha people want to live in their septic tank sewage so be it but stay out of our effort to save the Manatee

Not one Manatee should die because of an outdated lock. The plaintiffs in the hearing should be ashamed of themselves. They advocate protect wildlife --- but not the Manatee

Please remove the lock and save the manatee!

Please save our beloved manatees from being crushed to death and remove the outdated lock!

The quality of the water in the Spreader Canal is apparent from the large numbers of brackish water fish that thrive there. The need for a lock no longer exists. Just the fact that manatees are being killed in the lock is reason enough to remove the structure.

Get rid of lock!

Save our wild life by removing the Chiquita lock it serves no purpose.

I support removal of the lock.

I taught Marine Science and understand the tides and currents here. The lock serves no purpose whatsoever. The water from the south spreader goes nowhere near Matlacha, so their lawsuit is based on total ignorance of the tides and currents in our area.

Save the Manatee, get rid of this ridiculous lock

Get rid of that useless eyesore and danger to endangered wildlife

Sanibel Captiva Conservation Foundation president supports killing Manatees

The purpose of the lock was flood mitigation, not an environmental filter. The natural state of tide flow and marine life movement is best. Take it out!

Please remove the Chiquita lock

Now that the lock is partial open, we see the water is clear and a lot more maals

Lock is no longer necessary.

Remove the lock and stop killing Manatees. Matlacha you've been smelling your own stink too long.

The president of the Sanibel Captiva Conservation Foundation must be removed from his job. He supports killing the Manatees. Write their board of trustees
