CNN’s Randi Kaye visits the waters of Florida’s Indian River Lagoon to get an up-close look at why manatees are starving to death. What was once a paradise for Florida’s manatees has become a death trap. Environmentalists say the cause is septic tanks and wastewater plant runoff from development along the lagoon. A federal judge agrees with them and says Florida violated the Endangered Species Act. The pollutants have caused the manatees’ main source of food, sea grass, to die, causing more than 1200 manatees to starve to death.
