Kids Cove

Welcome to Kids’ Cove, where kids (of all ages) can explore the wonders of the sea while learning about our vital connection to
the ocean.

Begin one animal at a time by hanging out at Creature Feature, or go on an Ocean Adventure as you become a member of the expedition team! And find out what happens when Jean-Michel Cousteau finds Nemo and what the creatures behind SpongeBob Squarepants are all about. Dive in now!

Photo: Everything about the pygmy seahorse is unlikely. It's among the smallest vertebrates known in the animal kingdom. Its size and camouflage are so adapted to its environment, often a single coral, that the species wasn't even discovered until a scientist studying corals in the lab accidentally spotted it. Many are actually about the size of the pygmy seahorse seen in this photo! © Carrie Vonderhaar, Ocean Futures Society
