GLAN, Sarangani (February 1, 2008) – On Thursday (January 31, 2008), a fisherman and his kids cruise in a cove where dugongs live. Dugongs are large, gray mammals, which are sometimes referred to as seacows for they only eat seagrass. DENR Administrative Order No. 55 in 1991 made the dugong the first marine mammal to be protected in Philippine waters. This law prohibits the hunting, killing, wounding, taking, possessing, transporting and/or disposing of a dugong, whether dead or alive, and its meat and any of its by-products.
