Abstract:
Seahorses are unlike any other fish in the ocean. They swim upright and have necks, and their bodies resemble compilations of parts of a horse, lizard, and aardvark. Usually found in tropical waters, seahorses often ride sargassum dislodged by storms to North Carolina's waters. The lined seahorse and longsnout seahorse are most common in the state's southeastern waters. Over twenty million seahorses are harvested annually worldwide for jewelry and medicinal purposes.

In 2004, one hundred and thirty-nine mammals stranded on the state's coastline. Harris reports on a stranding of thirty-three pilot whales on the beach in southern Nags Head on January 15, 2005.
