Food Habits

• While the dugong is strictly a bottom-feeder, eating only what lives on the ocean floor.
• manatees feed from above the water's surface all the way to the bottom

remaining at depths of around 10 m, although they occasionally dive to depths of 39 m to feed.

Lifespan/Longevity
• Dugongs have lifespans of 70 years or more in the wild, which is estimated by counting the growth layers that make up a dugong’s tusks.

Economic Importance for Humans: Positive
• Dugongs are economically valuable while alive as a form of ecotourism. Activities such as dugong-watching cruises in Australia and swimming with dugongs in the Philippines and Vanuatu help local economies.
• Dugongs are also hunted for a variety of reasons. In Malaysia, dugongs are eaten opportunistically when incidentally caught in fishing nets or traps and when incidentally or purposely caught when fish bombing, a method of fishing which involves throwing a bomb into the water.
• One dugong apparently sold for $105 USD, which could stimulate local economy.
