Dugong

This animal can be observed in our beautiful neighborhood. There is hardly any awareness that they actually need more than concreted shorelines with heavy recreational boat traffic. Their habitat is wilfully destroyed at the moment in the name of jobs and greed. In a few years we will have some worried scientists asking for handouts to do studies to bring them back from the brink of extinction and they will present sensational new research (about finding that are obvious to anyone who is prepared to look and listen and put their own and their mate's interests aside for a moment). We don't need more marine protected zones (which are disrespected when it counts), but we need an awareness that animals don't go shopping at supermarkets, and don't hang out in pubs watching sports.
