Malta Research Project

Seahorse Conservation Project Malta

An exciting new project to discover more about the ecology and distribution of the Spiny and Short-Snouted Seahorses in Europe is to start around the Maltese Archipelago.  Trust volunteers, Beccy and Jonny, are setting up the project in Spring or Summer of 2012 on the beautiful island of Malta. Their vision is to conserve these wonderful creatures through research, conservation and education. The project will provide volunteers with an opportunity to learn more about marine biodiversity and conservation, with a primary focus on seahorse species, through active participation in the day-to-day research of sites around Malta.

To continue with their support of The Seahorse Trust, a proportion of the funds raised through the project will be donated annually. We will be working in partnership with the University of Malta, Paul Camilieri, Malta Nature, the people of Malta and many others on these beautiful Islands.

This Eco-tourism project will be unique for Europe giving participants an opportunity to work with these beautiful fish and at the same time be making a difference to their future.

Beccy and Jonny are putting together their new website soon but if you want to know more in the meantime contact them on the attached e-mail  and register your interest. Please email them at seahorseproject@aol.co.uk
