Its a sad day for humanity....when seahorses ride sewage instead of natural seaweed!

()

Seahorses hitch rides on the currents by grabbing floating objects such as seaweed with their delicate prehensile tails.

picture taken near the surface on a reef near Sumbawa Island, Indonesia.

this picture was chosen to be one of the finalists for Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2017!!!

which is a good thing to bring attention to the state of our oceans!

anyway.....enjoy!

absolutely this pic describes everything 😭

A powerful photo, raises a real concern of how humanity is destroying other habitats

The photographer is named Justin Hofman and he wrote :
"What started as an opportunity to photograph a cute little seahorse turned into one of frustration and sadness as the incoming tide brought with it countless pieces of trash and sewage"

DNA test that to figure out who throw it in the water!

Yes to what we have reached, I am very ashamed of everyone before nature.

saddest and bitter truth here is end of humanity we are just killing our nature beautiful nature got killed by us sadly 😢

intersting pic it 's show the impact of pollution
thanks for sharing.

bad impact on us too but we are like we dont care and we are just destroying every thing 😢

Ugh! I hate to see photos like that

that is kindof sad but the horse doesn't look all that sad. It seems like it couldn't care less.

so sad people themselves are destroying the earth :(

Seahorse is taking the step to clean the oceans with a cotton bud! I don't know when will humans do the same!!

nice picture

sad indeed.
we are polluting this beautiful world.

So sad. We need to take care of oceans.

they are the great source of our food as fishes are the powerful food and yet we are destroying

Our thinking is that one day Earth will be no more. SO why don't we finished it in our own way. :/

Wow,supar Photography.Excellent...Thanks.

There will probably not be another photo like this one in my lifetime

i hope we start thinking of it 😢
