Dugongs primarily inhabit warm coastal waters in the western Indian ocean, particularly in regions along the eastern coast of Africa. They are found in countries such as Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, and the Red Sea bordering Egypt and Sudan. These marine mammals prefer shallow, seagrass-rich areas, which provide their primary food source. Their populations are scattered, and they are considered vulnerable due to habitat loss and hunting.
