Fellow Kerrie O’Donnell from Project Seahorse at the University of British Columbia’s Fisheries Centre prepares to conduct a night time, underwater measurement of the tiger tail seahorse (/Hippocampus comes/) in the Danajon Bank region of the Central Philippines. Collecting size and reproductive state data on wild seahorses allows us to better understand how fishing impacts seahorse populations; information desperately needed to develop practical recovery options for sustainable seahorse fisheries.
