Based on the underwater survey, a categorization of the habitat distribution of the seahorses would be made that would provide data on species specific habitat preference. This vital information could be used for area-based conservatory actions.

This study will also focus on Local Ecological Knowledge by collecting secondary data from fishermen and SCUBA divers (including habitat information) from different dive centres in this region. All these reports will provide data on species abundance and distribution of seahorses to help adopt conservatory measures and help protect these fast-declining organisms.
