Journal: Pacific Conservation Biology
Year: 2018

We report the first record of a dugong (Dugong dugon Müller, 1776) in Fiji. The dugong, probably a vagrant, was found dead on 20 May 2018 at more than 600 km from the nearest known dugong population, which is in Vanuatu. The dugong, a 2-m-long female, was 13 years old.
