Study Links Seagrass Meadow Decline to Dugong Distribution Shifts at Libong Island, Thailand
By
Janmanee Panyawai
Summary
This study examines the relationship between seagrass meadow decline and dugong distribution shifts at Libong Island, Trang, Thailand. Seagrass habitats, which are critical feeding areas for dugongs (Dugong dugon), are rapidly disappearing across Southeast Asia. The research analyzes spatial patterns of seagrass coverage and dugong presence to understand how habitat loss affects dugong distribution in this region.
