Dugongs are not native to American waters; they primarily inhabit warm coastal waters of the Indian and western Pacific Oceans. However, there are occasional sightings of dugongs in the U.S. Virgin Islands and some areas of Florida, although these are rare and not part of a stable population. Their habitat mainly consists of shallow marine environments with seagrass beds, which are crucial for their diet. Overall, the presence of dugongs in the U.S. is very limited.
