[Save Our Seahorse] - Dugong Where Are You?
The day after our first Seahorse trip, we had our lunch and then continue on second part of the day. Survey for the place/spots where Dugong @ "Ikan Duyung" appear. First Dr. Louisa showed us the bones of a Dugong that had went to heaven because it was his head was hit by hard equipment, probably boat's propeller.
Later then we drive around the Kampung, interviewed a few fisherman and "penduduk kampung". Most of them said they didn't see any Dugong but sometimes have a swarm of "grey-colour-dolphin" @ "ikan lumba lumba" appear on the sea.
Luckily we found a big family where the grandpa of this family seen Dugong before and told us the story about the "Mermaid Fruits" and the fairy tale of how and why a girl turn into mermaid.

Wonder why the bones look so white? It s because it was treated with Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2)
You will familiar with it if you have whiten your teeth.

We went for lunch @ Kim Tong New Food court
Umbrella is a must as the sun is not so friendly to us.
They are friendly after all =)

*Imagine how long have we not able to see Dugong?*
The fisherman's life is getting harder because there are certain development that somehow decreased their income. Therefore their children went to town to work instead of catching fish with net.
But still, there is a big family in this small house =)
*I hope they received my photo already*
This is the end of Dugong's Survey. We can't barely find any person who seen a Dugong before. If yes it is way back long long time ago.
Seems like it is really hard to see real life Dugong in the sea again...
