Campaigners fight the trade in shells and seahorses

A campaign's been launched by a Topsham charity to stop the trade in seashells and seahorses as souvenirs or trinkets.


The Seahorse Trust says many of the items sold in shell shops are endangered species - and their loss is bad for the environment.

It's asking people who see them on sale in shops to report it - and take a photo if possible - but without confronting the shopkeeper or causing any trouble.
