Seahorses have been spotted by Outdoor Education students on their visits to local beaches. 

In March, as part of their course, students improved on their swimming skills and for many, learnt how to snorkel for the first time. Ordinarily there is a wide variety of fish to spot off the shores of Devonport but the seahorses have been a highlight for students.

The seahorses they spotted were most likely the Big Bellied Seahorse (Hippocampus abdominalis) which are found in waters between New South Wales to South Australia and Tasmania and New Zealand.
