I suppose this is the sort of drawing an ocean-loving native New Englander makes when placed in a landlocked African country. (I do love Lake Malawi though!)
In the mythology of the Far East, seahorses were believed to represent fortitude and good fortune. Ancient Greeks and Romans considered seahorses to be a gift of Neptune, the God of Sea. To them, they symbolized power, good fortune, and energy.
The Europeans had a common belief that seahorses supposedly guarded the ships and boats of their sailors.
Seahorses are also known to symbolize patience and kindness. According to animalhype.com, "People who have seahorses as their spirit animal have a golden heart. These people have an instinctive urge to help others, particularly those who are weaker than them or are unable to help themselves."
