The Seahorse Trust

The Seahorse Trust was founded in 1999 by Neil Garrick Maidment as an umbrella organisation to preserve and conserve the natural world, using Seahorses as their flagship species. The Seahorse Trust has researched and studied seahorses from around the world for many years, adding greatly to our knowledge of seahorses. The ethos of the trust is to ‘work in partnership with nature’ and they do this by working in partnership with other conservation and environmental organisations such as Save Our Seahorses, the Sea Life group of aquariums, Marine Conservation Cambodia (MCC), Save Our Seahorses in Malaysia, The National Marine Aquarium in England and many others around the world. “Only by working together can we all make difference, time is running out and unless we do something about it now, it will be too late.” -Neil Garrick Maidment.
