"After months of painstakingly rearing hundreds of baby seahorses, Australian
marine scientists released the tiny animals into Sydney Harbor last week in a
major victory for conservation efforts to boost the endangered sea creature’s
population.
It was a record-breaking achievement—with roughly 380 baby White’s seahorses
introduced into the wild waters of Chowder Bay, the effort marks the largest
such release in the world, as David Harasti, a senior research scientist at the
Port Stephens Fisheries Institute in New South Wales, tells the Australian
Broadcasting Corporation’s Declan Bowring.
The animals’ destination? Eight custom-built “seahorse hotels” made from
biodegradable metal. Researchers have been using these cage-like structures for
several years to provide a safe place for the teacup-sized fish to eat, live
and hide from predators."
