Abstract
- The article discusses the different methods in order to catch dugong in different environmental and cultural settings. It mentions the rodeo technique which pursues the dugong in a boat until the animal is fatigued. It states the dermal holdfast technique which offers a safe way to capture dugongs in murky water. It concludes that the dermal holdfast method increases the likelihood of catching dugongs in challenging areas and is more acceptable in indigenous communities.
