Yesterday’s devastating Dugong mortality in the Bazaruto Archipelago National Park- this year’s second recorded death- delivers a striking blow to our conservation team. The 3m adult female was caught by accident in seine nets at 21:00 on Monday night off Bazaruto’s Zenguelemo point by a crew of 14 fishers (some pictured below). The female was unfortunately carrying a calf- which we estimate to have been 5- 6 months old. Night fishing with seine nets has emerged as a significant threat to the dwindling population, and we’ll be taking every possible action to prevent any further Dugong drownings through this particular fishery.
