Seahorses are powerful ambassadors for the ocean
Their charm sparks curiosity and helps shine a light on bigger issues facing our world’s coastal marine ecosystems, such as unsustainable fisheries and habitat loss. They are found globally and live in some of the ocean’s most vital habitats: coral reefs, seagrass meadows, seaweed beds, mangrove forests, murky bottoms and even in open waters. With seahorses at the heart of our mission, we rally action that protects the ecosystems they live in and share with countless others.
