Bataleurs: Comparative Count of Dugongs

The Bateleurs supported a count of Mozambique's Dugongs in February this year, when the exercise yielded alarming reports of decreasing numbers of these gentle sea creatures. In September a comparative count was conducted, and this is the short report prepared by Paul Dutton, a Bateleurs pilot and ecologist. The flying for this mission was performed by volunteer pilots Chris Rattray and Etienne Oosthuizen.
