What’s in ISSUE FIFTEEN / BIG LITTLE LIVES?

big little lives

Delicate and diminutive, pygmy seahorses are some of the most enigmatic characters on the reefs they inhabit. With new species discovered in recent years, including the first in the Indian Ocean, thousands of miles from its nearest cousin, big questions are being asked of these little creatures.

TRIANGLE ISLAND

Off the northwest tip of Vancouver Island, with nothing but ocean between it and Japan, a speck of land throngs with life – a wild corner of the world where millions of seabirds call into the wind, and sea lions raise their young undisturbed. An island alive and thriving.

OTTER REVIVAL

The reintroduction of sea otters to the coastal waters of British Columbia in the 1960s and ‘70s brought about an ecological rebalance that has also provided an economic boost to the area. But is this conservation success story as straightforward as it first seems?

FOLLOWING THE FLOW OF FISH

Along South Africa's Wild Coast, at a place where river meets sea, there is a great coming together of species – as well as a confluence of tourism and science.

THE OCEAN FOREST OF SUSSEX
