The Knysna seahorse is a very special tiny creature that needs our awareness when holidaying or living in or near its home areas, which are just the Knysna, Swartvlei (Sedgefield) and Keurbooms (Plettenberg Bay) Estuaries and that includes Thesen Island Marina area. It is South Africa’s only endemic seahorse and is highly endangered.
You can see some in an aquarium at the SanParks office on Thesen Island.
