Dugongs are large marine mammals often called sea cows due to their herbivorous diet and slow, gentle nature. They are related to both manatees and—surprisingly—elephants. They live in warm coastal waters from East Africa to Australia, grazing on underwater grasses as their main food source.
Multiple citizens’ groups in Okinawa are actively involved in dugong con-servation, including Jugon hogo kikin (Dugong Conservation Fund), Dugong Campaign Center Okinawa, and Hokugen no jugon o mimamoru kai (Associa-tion to Protect Northernmost Dugongs).
