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.

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.
