Seahorses are known for their distinctive biology, such as male pregnancy and specialized hunting methods. They are vital to coastal ecosystems but face growing threats from habitat destruction, pollution, and accidental catch in fisheries. The program highlights these issues and showcases regional conservation efforts and research collaborations.

Participants will also learn how the Singapore Oceanarium promotes seahorse conservation by conducting monitoring surveys and collaborating across Southeast Asia, contributing to the protection of wild populations and habitats.
