Project Seahorse is an interdisciplinary and international organisation committed to
conservation and sustainable use of the world’s coastal marine ecosystems.
We engage in connected research and management at scales ranging from community initiatives to international accords.
Collaborating with stakeholders and partners, we
use seahorses to focus our efforts in finding marine conservation solutions.

Research
Working with governments,
local communities, and other experts, we generate cutting-edge research and turn our findings into highly effective conservation actions.

Conservation Action
Using seahorses as flagship species, we tackle the most urgent conservation issues of today — from overfishing and destructive fishing practices to the illegal trade in endangered marine animals.

Let's talk about trawling
Did you know? Trawling is one of the most destructive fishing practices there is. One of the most effective things you can do to help save seahorses — and protect vital marine habitats around the world — is to demand an end to bottom trawling.
Flagship species for marine conservation
Seahorses are flagship species for a wide range of marine conservation issues, including overfishing and destructive fishing practices, seafilling, pollution, and much more. Learn about these iconic animals, the threats they face, and how you can help us to protect them.
