Ecology and Conservation of the Sirenia
Dugongs and Manatees

Dugongs and manatees, the only fully aquatic herbivorous mammals, live in the coastal
waters, rivers and lakes of more than 80 subtropical and tropical countries and territories.
Symbols of fierce conservation battles, sirenian populations are threatened by multiple
global problems.
Providing comparative information on all four surviving species, this book synthesises
the ecological and related knowledge pertinent to understanding the biology and conserva-
tion of the Sirenia. It presents detailed scientific summaries, covering sirenian feeding
biology; reproduction and population dynamics; behavioural ecology; habitat requirements
and threats to their continued existence.
Outlining the current conservation status of the sirenian taxa, this unique study will
equip researchers and professionals with the scientific knowledge required to develop
proactive, precautionary and achievable strategies to conserve dugongs and manatees.
Supplementary material is available online at: www.cambridge.org/9780521888288.

Frontispiece. One of the traditional ways of hunting dugongs in Torres Strait was
by building a platform over the mud flats at low tide. A skilled hunter could tell,
by looking for feeding trails, where a dugong would return over the next few nights
and constructed a platform (nath) over this site with much magic and ritual. The
rope was coiled up on the platform and then let out, running across to the shoreline
where other villagers secured it, awaiting the kill. When a dugong came close, the
hunter saw the phosphorescent glow in the water and aimed his harpoon slightly
in front of it. The hunter is depicted in the form of a spirit with a moon-shaped
head and feet for flying through the air. Nath (State II). Linocut – Kaidaral.

 Foreword

On the surface of it, it seems preposterous to confuse mermaids and sirens

with a 500 kg marine mammal with a face that only another sirenian might
love. But knowledge and information have their own imperatives, and the
more we know, the more fascinating these creatures become, and the more
we are driven to protect them.
Knowledge itself is one of the tools that we can use to do that. Despite
the difficulties associated with studying manatees and dugongs – they are
inhabitants of turbid water, surface unpredictably and lie quietly on the
bottom for long periods – researchers have pieced together much of their
basic biology. Puzzles remain, however: Why do male dugongs have tusks?
Is reproductive behaviour in sirenians characterised by scramble competi-
tion among males, or might they actually form mating leks? However, a rich
understanding of these creatures has emerged from careful science.
Sirenians are biologically more different than most. They are the only
herbivorous mammals that are fully aquatic. Their evolutionary affinity
with elephants and hyraxes is intriguing. Even with only four extant species,
there is wonderful variety: the Amazonian manatee lives in freshwater
rivers and lakes, while the dugong is marine. Dugongs specialise on sea-
grasses, while manatees are much more eclectic. Long-term social bonds
seem to be restricted to mother–offspring relations, but sirenians can
gather comfortably in aggregations of hundreds.
Manatees and dugongs live in rivers, lakes and coastal areas, which
brings them together with our species. Throughout history, sirenians
have inspired cultural responses, provided people with meat, hides and
oils, and stimulated myths and stories. But today, artisanal fisheries, direct
hunting, declines in seagrasses, recreational boating and pollution are
unrelenting pressures on sirenian populations.
Knowledge is necessary for effective conservation action, and informa-
tion informs action. It is not coincidence that the populations for which
we have the most scientific data – Florida manatees and Australian
x j Foreword

dugongs – have the strongest management programmes and are the most
likely to persist. This justifies further efforts, especially research to under-
stand the interaction with people and the effectiveness of different manage-
ment regimes on wild populations. But knowledge by itself is not sufficient;
governmental agencies ultimately must use that knowledge to forge poli-
cies, and people must implement the practices that will allow us to co-exist
with these wonderful animals.

 Preface

This book was born out of passion, frustration, excitement and hope.
Readers will perceive all these emotions throughout the following pages.
If the hard-won lessons recounted here lead to improved conservation
of some remarkable species and their ecosystems, we will have fulfilled
our aim.
We have cumulatively spent well over a century studying the various
members of the Order Sirenia. Our passions include learning about and
trying to conserve manatees and dugongs. The word ‘unique’ has lost its
force through inaccuracy and over-use, but we want to reclaim its original
meaning here. The sirenians possess suites of morphological, ecological
and physiological adaptations that allow them, truly, to hold a unique place
in the animal kingdom. Although once a more diverse group, the sirenians
are limited now to only four species, albeit with remarkably wide geographic
ranges (especially the dugong). Reduced in numbers through much of that
range, and with myriad threats to their long-term survival, the sirenians
have nonetheless demonstrated tenacity and resilience, hopeful signs that
they will persist, if given a chance.
We hope that this book will stir the passion of those best placed to
achieve the survival of the four sirenian species, particularly the rising
generation of scholars and conservationists. We have all had the privilege
of spending some of our professional lives working with research students.
We are proud of the fact that these young scholars have the tools and
insights to conserve sirenians and other wildlife species and their habitats.
If passion has driven us, frustration has tempered us. The world has
many gifted and enthusiastic people trying to achieve a better balance
between human activities and conservation of wild, living resources. All
too often, human values and actions have led to the loss of wildlife species
and natural ecosystems. Some species of marine mammals have become
extinct at the hands of people in the past 60 years. Sadly, all of these
extinctions were preventable.
xii j Preface

Human population and consumption of natural resources expand every

year. The profit motive generally trumps conservation. This situation frus-
trates those of us who champion the natural environment. Nonetheless, we
sense a sea change in people’s attitudes, prompting excitement and hope
that a new generation of scientists and conservationists may reverse the
trends of our own generation and achieve better preservation of wildlife and
ecosystems.
This book will fail if it does not instil passion, frustration, excitement
and hope for the Sirenia. However, our purpose was also to document and
encourage the meticulous acquisition and use of scientific data to ensure
that decisions are evidence based. Passion and hope are great motivators;
but information, effective partnerships and respect for cultural differences
are essential for conservation to succeed. This book is a scholarly synthesis
that provides detailed, complete information and perspectives on the ecol-
ogy and conservation of sirenians, and acknowledges gaps in our under-
standing. In reviewing the literature for the book, we were struck by the
amount of new information about the Sirenia that has been published in a
wide variety of outlets over the last decade. By synthesising and distilling
this information we hope to help readers more effectively access the diverse
primary literature.
As described in Chapter 1, the dugong is at the heart of an international
political, economic, military, cultural and environmental conflict. These
animals have added fuel to the controversy over the presence of a US
military base on Japanese soil, in Okinawa. Indeed, as we note later,
dugongs and manatees are increasingly being used as ‘flagship species’ to
represent larger environmental causes.
Chapter 2 introduces frustration, as we describe the demise of the
largest sirenian species ever; one of the largest creatures ever to inhabit
our planet. The tragic loss of Steller’s sea cow at the hands of Russian
explorers and hunters only 27 years after its discovery by Europeans exem-
plifies the triumph of human greed over Nature. Sadly, Steller’s sea cow is
not an isolated example, as people persist in ‘doing business’ in a manner
that jeopardises wildlife and the natural world.
Chapter 3 provides the evolutionary history of the Order Sirenia. That
history is peppered with unusual beasts and considerable diversity. Many
sirenian species co-existed throughout tropical and subtropical waters, but
today that diversity is limited. We are concerned that factors such as human
population growth, habitat deterioration, changes in fishing technology and
even recreational pursuits make the accelerated extinction of the remaining
 Preface j xiii

species of sea cows more likely. Societies must develop better conservation
values and people must adjust their behaviours to ensure that does not
occur.
Chapters 4–6 provide a thorough review and synthesis of the scientific
information about sirenian feeding and foraging; habitat use; behaviour;
life history; and population dynamics. Optimal efforts to conserve species
and their habitats take advantage of all that is known about the species’
needs and capabilities. Our detailed review of the science of these three
broad areas sets the scene for our closing chapters on threats, status and
conservation opportunities.
Chapters 7–9 get to the heart of our concerns for the future of the
sirenians. Chapter 7 provides an assessment of the threats to sirenian
populations from environmental factors such as climate change and
harmful algal blooms, and human-related factors such as habitat destruc-
tion, directed hunting and incidental fishing take. Understanding and
mitigating threats are vital to conservation. Chapter 8 examines how we
understand the ‘status’ of a species or population and addresses hard-to-
study factors that would ideally be included in a status assessment, but
which are often difficult or impossible to integrate because of lack of funds
or logistic difficulties. We then provide details of the conservation status of
sirenian populations around the world. Some populations are actually
doing quite well, whereas others have been lost or greatly reduced and are
likely to disappear in a matter of years.
Although Chapters 7 and 8 contain information that may discourage
those who wish to promote conservation of sirenians and their environ-
ment, hope returns in Chapter 9. This chapter is titled ‘Conservation
Opportunities’ because we believe that new approaches, new tools and
new perceptions about science, values and partnerships will equip moti-
vated people with what they need to make a difference. In part, the change
has occurred because people and governments are increasingly acknowl-
edging that traditional ways of doing science and conservation do not always
work; this admission can be liberating, as it encourages people to seek novel
ways of working together.
We do not consider that conservation has become formulaic, and that
‘plugging in’ particular components or steps will automatically lead to
success. Nonetheless, we believe that the time is right for informed, pas-
sionate, dedicated people to prevail. We hope that the conservation oppor-
tunities we describe will be useful not only to people concerned with
sirenians, but for all conservation efforts, especially in developing countries.
xiv j Preface

There is much to be done to ensure that sirenians and their ecosystems

are conserved. We trust that this book conveys both humility and urgency
and provides a foundation for future successes.
