Abstract

The dugongs (Dugong dugon) are the only strictly-marine herbivorous mammals depending on seagrass for subsistence. One of the important habitats of dugongs is the seagrass beds of Palk Bay along the southeast coast of India. During last century, several herds were reported to have inhabited the Palk Strait between India and Sri Lanka. However, the population has drastically depleted and is nearing extinction. One of the main reasons attributed to this is the degradation of seagrass habitats.
