    Wow, what a simple, beautiful solution. I hope it makes a long-term difference.

    Other than the elephant in the room of mass species extinction being caused by humans, is it a wise idea to try to engineer nature like this?

      All they're doing is replacing the habitat that human actions have removed. It's up to the seahorses to use the cages - or not. Noone's forcing them to use them.
