White's Seahorse (Hippocampus whitei)

Find them in the wild

This species of seahorse range in colours (sometimes white, black, red, yellow) and are super cute. The species is endangered and with my own eyes I have seen how they have been depleting year on year in Sydney. One reason is that they are losing their habitat - the posidonia seagrass. You can help with restoring the fate of these seahorses by supporting Operation Posidonia, which aims to restore their habitat. You can also support the Sydney Institute of Marine Science who are finding ways to increase the population by breeding some in captivity and releasing into seahorse hotels - learn more here.
