The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has rescued a critically endangered seacow, locally called dugong, which got stranded in the waters off Barangay Binulusan in Infanta, Quezon, last Thursday. Local fishermen reported the discovery of the stranded dugong to the DENR's Biodiversity Management Bureau (BMB), formerly the Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau. According to Lim, the young marine mammal got stranded due to low tide.
