REUTERS/Cordelia HsuSYDNEY, July 20 (Reuters) - Nestled beneath the surface of Sydney’s harbour, over 350 newly released White’s Seahorses make themselves at home in their seahorse hotels. Made from biodegradable metal, the eight new hotels installed will provide much needed homes for the endangered seahorses. “It was really fantastic,” said marine biologist Mitchell Brennan, the project manager of the Sydney Seahorse Project. White’s Seahorses are endemic to the waters surrounding Australia’s east coast and were classified as endangered on the IUCN Red List in 2017 due to loss of habitat.

An aquariumIn April 2021, the Mall of Louisiana in Baton Rouge opened its doors to "Blue Zoo," an aquarium built inside an abandoned Hollister. The 16,000-square-foot space features wildlife such as sharks, jellyfish, stingrays, seahorses, and even toucans, according to The Advocate. Despite its transformation, the aquarium managed to maintain some of the original Hollister vibe, including its iconic entryway. "People in our generation and younger aren't interested in stuff, they want experiences they can show on social media," Wes Haws, founder and CEO of Blue Zoo, told The Advocate.

In the clear-blue waters off the coast of Dubai lies a chain of islands known as The Heart of Europe. They're manmade reconstructions of actual European nations, just on a smaller scale — part of an even larger chain of islands known as "The World." The Heart of Europe saw its very first $2.8 million floating home, the aptly named "Floating Seahorse," touch down earlier this year. Now they intend to build even larger homes that will cost a whopping $12 million. The giant fleet of Floating Seahorses are slated for completion later this fall.
