3. I am not saying it for sure is NOT the attacks on maritime infrastructure, just asking: might the cause not be the cold spell? Or is the phenomenon very localized?

   I think creatures in lower coastal waters are prone to this, a cold spell and then an inland wind blowing their remains to the coast.

4. Those poor sea horses, i feel sad for there little jockies…

5. Having a marine biology degree that is almost useless I did learn one thing I’ve kept in mind since:

   Lots of dead animals means there’s a good population to die. It’s the animals that we don’t see that we should really be concerned about.

   I know that’s hardly reassuring, but from a global perspective its a good sign for localized seahorse populations.

6. This hurts on so many levels. The human losses are unforgivable, but this is so sad too.
