You could be a Pioneer Scientist!

Some of the life history of seadragons is known from observing

captive and, to a lesser extent, wild animals. More information

about the basic ecology, distribution and movement in the

wild needs to be collected to enable sensible management

of these species. You can be a pioneering scientist by

participating in Dragon Search.

Many recreational divers already record sightings of

Seadragons in their dive logs, and many other

People observe beach washed marine flora and fauna.

It is a simple and most helpful step to transfer

relevant information on seadragons to the Dragon Search

sightings sheets (which you can print off this site),

It is also extremely beneficial to have regular checks

of the same sites and hence obtain information

trends in seadragon abundance over times. Even

if you don't see seadragons on your dive, that information

can be useful, especially if you have seen them at that site

before. Remember, safety comes first. Organise your

underwater surveys as you would any other dive.
