ABSTRACT For the two European seahorse species, short‐snouted Hippocampus hippocampus and long‐snouted guttulatus , there are knowledge gaps that need further research. These research become increasingly pressing under climate change, where uncertainty in how coastal ecosystems will change is compounded by these seahorses respond to changing pressures. Under species could experience northward range shifts, expanding their United Kingdom (UK) waters, potentially requiring UK take a leadership role conservation future. This review aims synthesise current scientific provide an overview of likely change. Using most recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6), predictions for future along with likelihood severity response combined confidence ranking risk UK. When considering individual factors, such as sea surface temperature, show some resilience, but cumulative impact multiple stressors, which existing has not been able capture. Overall, environmental variables needed across Europe.
