Hippocampus whitei.

Is an endangered species of Seahorse endemic to Australia, and found locally in Sydney Harbour and in our waters between Jervis Bay and Queensland. Scientists at the University of Technology Sydney are collaborating with SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium and together have started to recover the White’s Seahorses by implementing a new breeding and conservation project.

ENDANGERED
My dear friend and collaborator @alicewesleysmith and I were able to make a short film for KITX.
We were fortunate enough to follow SEA LIFE White’s Seahorse Breeding Project.

In our world right now over 37,400 species are considered endangered and at risk of extinction. This is due primarily to human activity; in particular pollutants and habitat loss from marine and land clearing. 41% of amphibians, 33% of reef-building corals, 26% of mammals, 36% of sharks and rays, and 14% of birds are under threat.

The White’s Seahorse is an endangered species found locally in Sydney Harbour and in our waters between Jervis Bay and Queensland. Scientists at the University of Technology Sydney are collaborating with SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium and together have started to recover the White’s Seahorses by implementing a new breeding and conservation project.
 
With their other-worldly eighteen dorsal-fin rays, sixteen pictorial-fin rays and their tall coronet and long hyper-real snouts, these beautiful White’s Seahorses are part of the trophic chain the makes up our precious biosphere, environment and living world.
