Why are Dugongs' Endangered?

The worst nightmare for any animal is being killed, threatened, and having a decrease in population. Most of the Dugongs are known to be found in Northern Australian waters mostly between Moreton Bay in the east to Shark Bay in the west. A lot of Dugongs die due to poaching and marine illegal coastal hunting. One of the main reasons dugongs are targeted is because these majestic creatures are very easy to hunt, so this makes the job easier for coastal hunters. They are hunted for their oil, skin, bones, teeth, and their meat. Another reason why dugongs are threatened is because dugongs are losing meadows of sea grass which is their number one food resource. Secondly Coastal pollution is also a big threat that humans are doing and this harms the animals and that's why they are losing their food source. Lastly indigenous hunting and fishing pressures are  also affecting a threat in species population.

What will happen if they become extinct? People should be concerned about any type of species becoming extinct because this could affect all of us. If Dugongs become extinct it will affect the amount of Biodiversity In the ocean. Dugongs feed on seagrass, and sometimes Dugongs eat crabs and algae. A daily life for a Dugong is mostly eating throughout the day. Seagrass is also a place that serves as a nursery for small fish, shrimp, and many other living creatures in the which can be found in Oceans. "In fact, dugongs actually improve the quality and  quantity of seagrass beds through their grazing activities while eating the grass," said Dr Donna Kwan. Keeping that in mind if Dugongs become extinct it will then affect us because millions of humans have fish as part of their diets and Dugongs are part of a food web; so if they become extinct then food web will become unbalanced. This means many species could increase, and decrease and both actions could have negative or m...
