Did you know that dugongs are the only marine mammals that exclusively eat seagrass? These gentle giants can grow up to 13 feet long and weigh up to 1,300 pounds. They are found in shallow coastal waters in tropical and subtropical regions of the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
Dugongs are listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, which means that they are at risk of extinction. The main threats to dugongs are habitat loss, pollution, and entanglement in fishing nets.
We can all help protect dugongs by reducing our impact on the environment. We can also educate others about dugongs and the threats they face.
