These creatures are found in coastal areas with large sea grass beds. The coastline of the Hat Chao Mai National Park in Trang Province has 8 kinds of sea grass in a 7 km long belt that supports a fairly large community of dugongs.
Acknowledging the importance of a well managed conservation program, the Dugong Conservation Project implemented by the Marine and Coastal Resources Department has set guidelines for visitors to follow as they view these gentle creatures in their natural habitat. There are also guidelines for locals and fishermen to follow as it is in their best interest to maintain the bio diversity of the area and to promote the undisturbed ecology around Trang as a tourist attraction that will translate into economic gains.
Local people are encouraged to work towards preserving these habitats by not polluting the water, conserving coastal eco systems and protecting the dugong itself by not consuming them and by avoiding destructive fishing practices.
