    Seahorses: Wanted Dead or Alive

  • Overview

    With a horse's head, a monkey's tail and sex-swap parenting, seahorses are one of the ocean's strangest and most charismatic inhabitants. In this one hour special, wildlife filmmaker Natali Tesche-Ricciardi sets out to investigate something that most people don't realize - seahorse populations are in crisis from pollution and overfishing for tourist souvenirs, aquarium stock and traditional Chinese medicine. With the help of Project Seahorse, traders and fishermen are changing their ways to help wild seahorse populations. The future for wild seahorses remains uncertain but one fact cannot be disputed - our future generations will want to experience these enchanting fish - in their natural habitat and very much alive.

1935-08-10

Examines the sea horse, the only fish that swims upright. We watch it use its prehensile tail to wrap around plants and other sea horses. A frontal bulge houses organs including an air ballast. Three fins propel this fish. We see a female place her eggs in a male's pouch where they are fertilized and nurtured until birth in violent contractions. Inside the pouch are nurturing blood vessels. We then follow the growth of an embryo, greatly magnified: we examine its heart beating and its dorsal fin moving. Young sea horses attach themselves to each other. The film ends with images of many sea horses moving on the ocean floor, superimposed on a horse race.

A journey along one of Portugal's oldest roads reveals, through its winding paths and valleys, many of the challenges currently faced by various European countries. Much like the road that cuts through the center of the country, at the heart of this discussion, lies the reflection on the depopulation and neglect of rural areas. A blend of testimonies from those who were born there, those who are dedicated to the region, and those who choose to travel it in search of something, all contribute to a deeper understanding of new ways of living and connecting with the land in a globalized world.
