Researchers will examine whether the area’s fertility may be contributing to the unexpected influx.

Remaining Kaffir lime leaf seagrass and tamarind leaf seagrass dugong food And there are 3 dugongs that often come to eat sea grass regularly, which he had previously encountered some sea cucumbers. But it will be scattered in various seagrass sources, only 3-5 each, unlike the last time in this period.
