Best Answer

Deforestation and coastal development lead to increased siltation in nearby marine waters. Increased silt in coastal waters suffocates sea grass beds and coral reefs. As the coral reefs and sea grass beds are ruined, the tiny fish and plankton the seahorse depends upon for food are also destroyed. Their shallow, near-shore habitats are also highly affected by human pollution from waste dumping, tourists and construction run-off.

So they can't really adapt to it they just try and get use to it.
