Aug. 1999. –Interview and boat surveys, 1994-97, suggested that an estimated 40 dugongs may survive around the islands. Harpooning is no longer regularly practiced; mortality (in fishing nets) is now often unintentional. Population decline is attributed to habitat loss; conservation measures are suggested. External measurements of a lactating female are given. | ||
