Each year, I lead a trip or two into nearby areas. Typically, I apply for a scientific collection permit, on behalf of NANFA, that covers the people on the trip. Like you, I presume that it's legal to collect pipefish (but don't know for sure). I know lots of seahorses have fallen on hard times--don't know about our particular seahorse, but it's always best to check first.

There are silversides in the Chesapeake, near Annapolis. I think they're Atlantic silversides, but don't know for sure. There are inland silversides in the Potomac near Mount Vernon. I've only kept them briefly. They're very fragile and don't transport well. I'm hoping to lead a trip to the tidal Potomac as well, to look for snakeheads.
