Over 140 baby White’s seahorses, also known as Sydney seahorses, were recently released into the wild across the city’s harbours in a seahorse recovery project.
Following a dramatic decline in Sydney Harbour’s seahorse numbers over the past decade, the project aims to increase the population of the hippocampi through a breeding program at the Sydney Aquarium. The baby seahorses will then be released back into the wild so that they can breed and flourish.
