Dugongs
in Tanzania
| The
first tangible evidence of the continued survival of dugongs
in Tanzanian waters for 74 years was provided in early 2004,
when two animals drowned in gillnets in the shallow seagrass
beds between Mafia Island and the Rufiji Delta were delivered
to Sea Sense / Mafia Fisheries Office. In 2005,
another four animals also drowned in gillnets (three in the
Rufiji-Mafia area and one off the east coast of Zanzibar). Live
dugongs have also been reported in the Rufiji-Mafia area in
November 2004 and July 2005. |
