Petition Action

Make it illegal to sell or import seahorses that are not true captive bred.

Petition Details

The aim is simple,to supply the hobby industry with guaranteed captive bred fish not taken from the wild.We believe doing this can help to lessen the stress on wild populations and give them a helping hand to re-establish themselves.

Additional Information

Every year hundreds and thousands of seahorses are taken from the wild and end up mainly in the Chinese medicine industry; this is heart breaking to see! We would like to see tank raised seahorses classed as wild caught and be legally described as such, this would help to differentiate from true captive breds.
