Dugongs declared functionally extinct in Chinese waters

Summary by Ground News
The dugong, a gentle marine mammal, has officially been declared extinct in China. Fishing and ship strikes have caused a rapid decline of the "sea cows" since the 1970s. There has been no evidence of their presence in China since 2008. Known as the ocean's most gentle giant, its slow, relaxed behaviour is likely to have made it vulnerable to overfishing and shipping accidents. It still exists elsewhere in the world but is facing similar threats.
