Project HippoTag -
Seahorse Tagging Experience
Merambong Seagrass Meadow, Johor, Malaysia
Day Trip - Coming Soon
Join the Save Our Seahorse (SOS) team for a seahorse tagging experience!
Did you know male seahorses are the only ones who get pregnant and give birth?
Did you also know that seahorses are not strong swimmers?
They rely on their dorsal fin for stability and tail for gripping onto corals.
Spot seahorses and name them!
This program focuses on spotting seahorses and pipefish for population assessment. Participants will shadow the expert team, getting up close with seahorses and their habitats.
The tagging process involves walking in shallow waters, making it perfect for families with young children. Our trained team members will measure, identify gender, assess health, and tag these creatures before setting them free.
Additionally, participants who spot seahorses independently will get to name their own seahorses!
