Saving Seahorses to Save Seas

Project Seahorse Director and Cofounder Amanda Vincent has dedicated her career to understanding and advocating for seahorses, which serve as a flagship species for a wide range of marine conservation issues. Hear how her determination and optimism is saving not only these iconic sea creatures but also the world’s oceans on Thursday, Sept. 30.
