Why do we need to remove the Rodman Dam?

• Florida's ecosystem is slowly degrading and if we don't do anything and stand up for the environment, there will be no beautiful planet or wildlife for our children and the generations to come because the human population has not only decided to destroy itself, but destroy the planet with it.

• The Rodman Dam needs to be removed because the manatee population is suffering and there will be more space for manatee habitats, the water temperature will support them, there will be more seagrass for them to feed off of, and the entire ecosystem will thrive.

• Human kind has already destroyed the planet enough so we should act now and save what natural beauty we can.

• I don't know. I plan on becoming a YouTuber, so I am not sure why I should care or how this effects me.
