The WA Seahorse Project
THE WA SEAHORSE PROJECT WELCOMES YOU
OUR GOALS
We aim to conserve and restore Bermuda’s seahorse population working in collaboration with Government organizations, sponsors, and the community at large. We plan to achieve this through 3 endeavors:
CONSERVATION
Surveying for seahorses:
-
particularly in key habitats: seagrass beds, mangroves, moorings, and floating docks
-
to determine the population baseline and species composition
-
monitor and examine the behavior of these species
Collecting abiotic data from seahorse habitats to be used for future actions on restoration
RESTORATION
Placement and maintenance of seahorse "hotels" to help maintain holdfasts for seahorses in declining habitats.
Actions based on Bermuda's Seahorse Recovery Plan*
