My first love of science has always been in the fields of oceanography and astronomy. I could never find an "oceanography picture of the day site." Most of the material that will be posted here will probably be in a link as most pictures are copyrighted.....bummer
My life has always been centered around the tides of the ocean. I'm very lucky to be living at the beach and cherish every day here. I'd like to post some pictures, articles or videos about the wonders of our beloved oceans. Please feel free to share any thoughts of the ocean that you may have.

What is a seahorse?
Seahorses are named for their equine profile. Although they are bony fish, they do not have scales, but rather a thin skin stretched over a series of bony plates arranged in rings throughout their body. Each species has a distinct number of rings. Seahorses swim upright, another characteristic that is not shared by their close pipefish relatives, which swim horizontally. Seahorses have a coronet on their head, which is distinct to each individual, much like a human fingerprint. They swim very poorly by using a dorsal fin, which they rapidly flutter and pectoral fins, located behind their eyes, which they use to steer. Seahorses have no caudal fin. Since they are poor swimmers, they are most likely to be found resting, with their prehensile tails wound around a stationary object. They have long snouts, which they use to suck up food, and eyes that can move independently of each other, much like a chameleon. Seahorses eat small shrimp, tiny fish, crustaceans and plankton.
