The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MoECC) received a report of a dead sea cow (dugong) at Al Udeid Beach.
A specialized unit from the Protection and Nature Reserves department visited the site and took needed measurements and samples to determine the cause of death, MoECC said on its Twitter handle.
The assessment revealed that the sea cow was exposed to the propeller of a boat in the sea, which led to its death, said the Ministry.
