Woman who rode manatee at Fort De Soto turns herself in
Under the Florida Manatee Sanctuary Act, sea cow molestation constitutes a second-degree misdemeanor, an offense punishable by a $500 fine or a term of up to 60 days in the county jail.

Authorities do not believe the manatee was physically hurt. The psychological impact of the incident is harder to assess.

How the hell do you ride a manatee? I’ve blundered into them at Crystal (not) River, snorkelling in the vegetation-tea. Top speed is what, about 0.4 MPH?
