Dugong conservation status, estimated numbers and threats in the Pacific Basin Dugong movement and connectivity Advances in some key monitoring tools Matthieu Juncker
Long-lived and slow to mature Geographical overlap between dugongs and people put the animals at risk from a range of activities Type and intensity of threat vary with location (across and within countries)
National laws protect dugongs in the Pacific range states, but enforcement is lacking.
Status remain mostly unknown (except Australia) Several countries lack baseline data + formal assessment hasn’t really been conducted new data starting to emerge Opportunities to conduct IUCN regional assessments (IUCN Sirenia specialist group here help) Need for evidence of decline in the population

New insights into the long-term/range movements (GPS-sat tags) and short-term, fine scale dive profiles Require animal capture: logistically challenging if not impossible in low dugong density areas. Risky, and need to be culturally acceptable GPS-Iridium or Diary and cam-diary tags ✪ ✪
Decision support tool for research into dugongs, seagrasses and associated human communities. Developed by Dugong Technical Group. Audience: marine natural resource managers, decision-makers (government and non-government) and researchers.

Mar 5, 2024 · 2021). Put together, these studies show that the way dugongs interact with their habitat will vary with location, time of the year, and the size and heterogeneity of the habitats in which they are found (see Deutsch et al. (2022) for review). For example, the dugongs’ habitat use is largely influenced
Sep 27, 2021 · The cultural value of dugongs is recognized by multiple countries, which have therefore authorized indigenous dugong hunting, sometimes under quotas. For instance, in Australia, dugongs may be legally hunted by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (Figure 3) under section 211 of the Native Title Act 1993 .
