Seadragons and other Syngnathidae attract a lot of attention because of their etherial appearance. To ensure they remain safe in the wild and to reduce your impact on these marvellous animals:

• look but don’t touch
• leave them where they are
• do not herd them from their home range
• do not move them up and down the water column
• take special care with egg-carrying males
  
• turn lights down – keep flashes to three or four per encounter.
