Seahorse release

Native to the east coast of Australia, the white seahorse is now an endangered species in 2020 due to pollution and habitat destruction.

Scientists now 380 young specimens were released into Sydney Harbour, which was also breathtakingly recorded:

Earlier this year, Sydney Institute of Marine Science staff captured three pregnant seahorses and helped them raise their young in captivity to improve their chances of survival.

Scientists have placed baby seahorses with special tags that can help experts track the growth and reproduction of specimens in the wild.
