Let's save the seahorse. This was the eloquent message imparted by two internationally known experts on seahorse in a recent seminar here entitled "Coordinating seahorse conservation efforts in zoos and aquaria." The experts were Dr.Heather Hall, curator of the London Zoo and co-founder of Project Seahorse, and Dr. Colin Bull, aquarium research coordinator of Project Seahorse and Shedd Aquarium partnership, of the John Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, Illinois, USA. The seminar was sponsored by the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center Aquaculture Department (SEAFDEC AQD) hosted by the government in this seaside town situated 24 kilometers west in Iloilo City.
