How is the manatee being helped from extinction?

One method that saves the extinction of manatees is: Manatees like shallow water because food is plentiful there. Where there are shallow waters, there are boats also. Most parts of the bodies of water in Florida are inhabited with manatees, so the areas that are most inhabited by manatees will be closed down to ships and boats, who are likely to go over them, and even kill them.

How will manatee extinction affect their predators?

To tell the truth, manatees have not very many predators. In fact, the manatee is so large, humans are the only predators. We hunt them, hurt/kill them with our motorboats, and we scar/strangle them with our fishing boats. Also, our floodgates and pollution play a (not so) helping hand. Manatees' extinction will affect us because everyone loves a good trip to SeaWorld, or whatever zoo or aquarium you may visit, to see the manatees. Those blubbery, though loving, creatures will always (hopefully) keep a place in the human heart.
