Researchers are puzzling: Rare animals are reappearing on the North Sea coast after 100 years. A report in Beach Explorer or on www.beachexplorer.org helps to solve the mystery of the washed-up seahorses.
Dead animals can also be handed in at national parks in Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein. In Asia they are caught as medicine and sold as powder. Their popularity among tourists as souvenirs is also increasingly becoming a downfall for the little animals.
