The secret world of seahorses
Davies, Nicola2025
Book
The poignant story of how seahorses have dealt with modern climate change. It can be difficult to spot a seahorse! Seahorses don't look like other fish and they don't swim around in shoals. They like to hide deep in the ocean amongst the rocks and reefs and weeds. But over the years, it has become harder and harder to spot these elusive creatures...Nicola Davies explores why one of the world's best-loved creatures is disappearing from our oceans. Each year, more than 20 million seahorses are caught by humans and taken from the ocean - and even where seahorses are safe from humans, climate change is having a drastic impact on their habitats.With luminous illustrations by Lou Baker-Smith, this new addition to the Protecting the Planet series is a celebration of one of the word's most extraordinary creatures...and it has an important, hopeful message to share about how human beings can change for the better.
