Ken Findlay, Almeida Guissamulo and I have recently completed an 18 month study of what we think is the last surviving 'viable' population of dugongs in the Western Indian Ocean. The study involved aerial surveys, sea grass mapping and a final Population Viability Analysis. Although we intend publishing this work, we thought some might be interested in reading the final report, in it's entirety. DUGONGS (DUGONG DUGON) OF THE BAZARUTO ARCHIPELAGO, MOZAMBIQUE The final report is available as a PDF from me. It's pretty long, about 85 pages and gigs, so I'll wait a few days and send to all those who requested in one shot.
