Hi Tom

this sounds like an interesting discussion, I guess my only question would be as to whether the Leafy Sea Dragon is found in either of the places where we will be staying. Is there any way you can tailor the discussion more specifically to a species we may see out on the reefs?
Also, in not knowing much about sea horses I wonder if there may be very many different species and if you risk losing quality in trying to increase quantity: discussing all the different kinds of sea horses and sea dragons and where they are found around the world. If sea horses and sea dragons are very different perhaps just provide a brief comparison between the two and then focus in more quickly just on the sea dragons. (unless I'm wrong and they're the same animal with two different names)

in general, it sounds like it'll be a very enlightening talk
