An endangered species of seahorse has returned to its former stronghold in Dorset due to the coronavirus lockdown, marine conservationists say.

The Seahorse Trust says during one regular dive at Studland Bay, it found 16 spiny seahorses - including pregnant males and a juvenile that had been born this year - its largest daily discovery there since 2008, and the first sighting for two years.

"We have seen so many seahorses because the food chain has recovered, giving seahorses plenty of food to eat, and crucially, somewhere to hide," he said.
"The seagrass has started to repair itself, and the spiny seahorses have taken advantage of this."

"The seahorses need protection to stop them being disturbed again as COVID-19 restrictions are lifted, and to stop them vanishing from this legally protected site.
