Dugong Rescued After Getting Stuck Near a Beach in Trang During Low Tide
30 November 2023
A dugong was rescued after being found stuck near a beach during low tide at the Libong Island.
The Department of Coastal Resources (DMCR) told the Phuket Express that earlier this week they were notified from an animal volunteer group that they found a living dugong about 500 meters from a beach on the Libong Island.
They arrived to find the stranded dugong but luckily no wounds were found on the animal.
The dugong was then pulled back to the sea by volunteers who believed that the dugong was finding sea grass near the beach and was unable to get back to the sea by the time low tide kicked in.

Piggy-backing baby dugong found dead in Sattahip Bay
February 3, 2023
The baby dugong, which had ridden on the back of a giant green sea turtle in the Dong Tarn Bay, off Chon Buri province, has been found dead. The remains exhibited multiple wounds, believed to have been caused by a fishing net.
The tragic end of the baby dugong was reported on the Facebook page of the Sea Turtle Conservation Centre of the Royal Thai Navy on Thursday.
According to the report, the carcass of a young dugong was found floating in Sattahip Bay, in front of Thailand National Sailing Club. The remains were recovered and sent to the Eastern Coast Marine and Coastal Resource Research Centre for autopsy.
The animal, weighing less than 100kg, is believed to have died up to 2 days before it was found.
Suthep Jualaong, head of the research centre, said that the dead mammal is believed to be the same one which was seen recently with its surrogate mother, a giant green sea turtle, in Dong Tarn Bay.
A marine and environment expert, Assistant Professor Thon Thamrongnawasawat, from Kasetsart University, said in his Facebook post that “nature is cruel, but not as cruel as humans, who may be the real cause of its death,” adding that dugongs living in Sattahip Bay face extinction if nothing is done to save them.
He said that there were about five dugongs in the Sattahip Bay last year and three of them have been found dead.
