You probably know what a sea horse looks like, but did you know there are nearly 50 different species of seahorses around the world? Several of those species have only recently been discovered. They can be found in many different sizes and colors. Some have strange and beautiful shapes to help them blend into their habitat.

Seahorse populations have declined in many areas. This is sometimes due to pollution in their environments. But the aquarium trade is also a threat to seahorse populations. 


Come find out more about seahorse conservation and the ways scientists are trying new ways to breed seahorses to protect wild populations!
