If you like seahorses (who doesn’t?) than this episode is for you! While there are no seahorses in the Salish Sea, we do have pipefish, which are very closely related to seahorses. On this episode, Tiffany Boothe, Assistant Manager at the Seaside Aquarium in Oregon, tells us about these unique and eloquent fish! We’ll explore their biology, where you can find them, their cool peculiarities, and so much more, including the question everyone wants to know: what’s up with the males doing all the hard work of carrying the eggs?
