Meet “Santa” of the sea 🌊🎅
Hippocampus denise, nicknamed “Hippocampus santa” by the diving community in Indonesia because of its festive red and white colours. This seahorse doesn’t bring gifts, but spotting one is a gift in itself. If you spot one, don't forget to share your sightings with the #iSeahorse Project on #iNaturalist.

🌊New Paper Alert 🌊 We’re thrilled to announce our latest study, “Harnessing Community Science for Seahorse Population Monitoring”. This research was made possible through our partnership with Tampa Bay Watch, who led a 5-year community-driven effort to monitor seahorse populations in Tampa Bay. These efforts provided valuable insights into seahorse population trends and reproductive behaviours.
