Science Video  Saving Seahorses Marine Biologists Work To
Protect Seahorses By Developing A Breeding Program  February 1,
2008 — Marine biologists, worried that regular harvesting of
wild seahorses may threaten the creature with extinction, have
begun breeding them in home aquariums. Caring for seahorses
requires a three-step water filtration process, three feedings a
day, and careful temperature and water chemistry monitoring.
They're mesmerizing to watch, but seahorses may go the way of
dinosaurs. One researcher concerned about their depletion is
studying ways to help them survive.  They are unique and
mysterious. But did you know these creatures mate for life? They
must eat constantly to stay alive … did you know wild seahorses
are disappearing?  Aspiring marine biologist, Katherine Bernabeo
is concerned about their survival. They're being traded on the
black market, made into Asian medicine, kept in aquariums,
pollution is killing them off and their costal habitat is
disappearing.  "Twenty million seahor
