Best Answer

The manatee is an essential part of the ecosystem. This large aquatic creature, nicknamed the sea cow, eats huge amounts of aquatic plants every day. Not only does this help to keep the plants from taking over and choking the waterways, the manatees also produce a great deal of dung that helps to fertilize the bottom of rivers, lakes, and canals.

Manatees clean the sea by eating sea grass. If there are no manatees the sea would be overgrown and it will be dirty.
