[Program]
The source of Mermaid legends, Dugongs cannot survive without healthy, shallow coastal ecosystems comprised of vast Halophila seagrass beds.
The dugong is now widely recognized as the symbol for shallow coastal ecosystems in tropical and subtropical countries.
Seagrass meadows of coastal ecosystems are precious habitats not only for dugong,
but for various marine creatures such as fish and molluscs, not to mention humans.
While focusing on the dugong, we invite you to join a lively discussion on finding new directions for
linking years of research with coastal ecosystem conservation.
