"For most of history, man has had to fight nature to survive; in this century he is beginning to realize that, in order to survive, he must protect it."

      Thank you EC. This is a Leafy Sea Dragon which I should have identified before, but forgot to add it.

    So true! I am looking for one of those fancy seahorses in the second picture. They blend in with this kind of stuff.

    I don't know why people can't understand this. Thank goodness there are those who are dedicated to furthering this concept of survival.
    The rest of us must look around our immediate environment and see what change/improvement we can do .... however so small.

    Seahorses in particular are facing extinction but life, in general, is on the road to becoming extinct. It is true that in fighting nature we are fighting ourselves. Hopefully, the New Year will see us behaving more responsibly and in harmony with the natural world.

    Man is beginning to realize the earth must be protected but I'm afraid it's much too late.
