Surge in seahorse sightings shows importance of River Thames for wildlife
Marine biologists from international conservation charity ZSL working on the River Thames are excited to report more evidence of seahorses living in London’s iconic waterway. The sighting of a sixth individual animal in the past two months alone, compared with previous averages of just one or two annual sightings, underlines the importance of the Thames and its estuary as a haven for wildlife.
These seahorse sightings are just the latest indicator of how biodiverse and important the Thames is for a number of species: from tiny invertebrates like shrimp and insect larvae; to over 125 species of fish, including the Critically Endangered European eel (Anguilla anguilla); and apex predators like the harbour seal (Phoca vitulina), grey seal (Halichoerus grypus), tope (Galeorhinus galeus) and smooth-hound (Mustelus mustelus).
