So sad that a marine cone snail (Conus lugubris) has just been declared Extinct on the #IUCNRedList. Being predatory and venomous was not enough to save it. Degradation of its Cabo Verde habitats was the main problem. www.iucnredlist.org/search?query...

So many seahorses around Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - a place dear to my heart after spending a year near there living on board #bottomtrawlers for my PhD research. Perhaps our #iconicfishes can inspire a transition toward more sustainable fishing methods in the Gulf of California.
