Biologist Gabriela Santos shows seahorses in a jar as she collects them from the water off Urca beach as part of the Rio de Janeiro seahorse project run by the Santa Ursula University, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Monday, June 20, 2022. According to project leaders, there has been an increase in the seahorse population in recent years in the bay since the 2014 nation-wide ban of their capture and sale to aquarium hobbyists, despite them being sensitive to polluted water.
