Description
The Seahorse Trust is a charity very close to our hearts. These extraordinary little creatures are killed in their millions every year to be part of jewellery or for Chinese medicine and for sale as pets. And their death is not a pleasant one – they are hauled out of the ocean and left to suffocate on the beach in boiling heat and pain to dry them out. If things carry on the way they are, seahorses will be extinct in less than 30 years. This is an awful thing to contemplate and we must do all we can to prevent this. You can help by not buying jewellery or other trinkets containing real seahorses and by helping to support The Seahorse Trust in their fabulous work to help save these marvellous marine animals.
Seahorses enjoy a bit of romance and pair up as the perfect couple and so are an ideal symbol for true love. The Seahorse Trust was set up in 1999 and works in partnership with many organisations and people from all over the world. The Seahorse Trust has also set up a worldwide database on seahorses to record seahorse sightings.
