Seahorses are enigmatic species, their form and mythical appearance instilling a sense of wonder for many. Their status as a symbol for the oceans is used across the world, however little awareness is given to the threats and challenges that they face, the research and work being delivered to protect them, and for the UK, their presence in our waters. Join this session to hear more about these amazing creatures, and about how you can support our marine environment.
