The Seahorse Hawaii Foundation is dedicated to saving the Art of the Sea through education, ocean conservation, propagation and release back into the ocean of the highly endangered Seahorses.
The Seahorse Hawaii Foundation is working to protect these magnificent sea creatures through education, research and propagation at our Kona Facility located within the Ocean Rider Seahorse Ranch.
- Seahorses are one of the most magical and enchanting animals in the animal kingdom. They are the stars of fairy tales and legends.
- Their biology is extraordinary. Not only does the seahorse have a prehensile tail, and eyes that rotate 360% independent of the other, but the seahorse is the only animal in the entire animal kingdom in which the male has a true pregnancy!
- The seahorse was once found in every ocean of the world from 20 feet to 100 feet which is the area most frequented by man.
