  • Volunteer divers in Dorset, UK, are reporting a surge in the number of seahorses. After efforts to make conditions better for the elusive creatures in Studland Bay, sightings are greatly increasing. Over the last two decades, conservationists have worked hard to make conditions better for the seagrass – and thus the seahorses – including introducing almost 100 “eco moorings” that do not harm the habitat

  • A hawksbill sea turtle swims among bioluminescence, defined as the biological light emission of marine life, in the Red Sea.

    A hawksbill sea turtle swims among bioluminescence, defined as the biological light emission of marine life, is captured in Red Sea using a “fisheye” lens through a new scientific imaging system in Egypt.
