Save the Moreton Bay Dugong

Since the January floods, the precarious fate of the Moreton Bay dugong has been under investigation. Earlier this year some newspapers reported that the dugong population was not under threat however recent reports have contradicted this belief.

The purpose of this website is to create community awareness, particularly in the Brisbane area, of how the Moreton Bay dugong is becoming increasingly vulnerable to the point of imminent extinction.

There are many things, that we as consumers and residents of Brisbane can do to help mitigate the risk to these beautiful, gentle creatures. This blog documents our research journey into the the sustainability of the Moreton Bay dugong and what we, as a community, can do to help.
