'They' are a collection of mythological characters associated with the sea, whom the speaker names as former resident magicians. This illustrious group consists of Proteus, Poseidon, Triton and Neptune, and their fondness for the Mediterranean may have more to do with their origin in Graeco-Roman myth than any piscine predilections they may have entertained.

The quotation is from Roverandom, and the speaker is the Man in the Moon. Naturally it is the eponymous canine hero whom he addresses.
