Seahorses In Salcombe

I need to see one of the little chaps but I don't dive. Can I do it any other way?

Does this work?

Seriously though, I have seen a very few diving over the years in the Carribbean. Mostly, they're really small, and don't move around much!

Is there a Seaquarium you can go to? They would have one most likely...

Is there something peeping out from under her arm?
Is that a seahorse?

Perhaps thats why I've not seen one before:-

They only pop out when its cold

Saw that on telly this morning, brought back memories of catching loads of them whilst shrimping as a kid. That was alongtime before the eastuary became an SSI and they always went back, dad said there was no meat on 'em.

After you've queued up for an hour and a half to get in, then shuffled past each exhibit in a constant flow of bodies.

Did I mention we went there a few weeks ago for the day!

That would have been a wet day in the school holidays - don't want to go then!

School holidays are over now - just walk straight in!

Myself and Matt H found a live one that'd been stranded in a drying pool a few weeks back in Studland.

Glad we put that one back into the water then.


As for banning anchoring there,from memory the eelgrass in the area hasn't noticeably been affected by the last 30 years or so of people anchoring there...

I had a seahorse once, but I sold it when I stopped playing water polo.
