It was a small beginning for Project Seahorse, says Amanda Vincent, director and co-founder of the now-global non-profit organization dedicated to conserving seahorses. Founded in 1996 with Heather Koldewey, Project Seahorse is a group dedicated to securing marine ecosystems through extensive research and effective action — with Vincent at its helm. She’s also the chair of both the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s seahorse, pipefish and seadragon specialist group and its marine conservation committee. Winner of numerous awards for her research work, including the Rolex Award for Enterprise and, most recently, the US$250,000 Indianapolis Prize, she is equally committed to teaching the next generation of conservationists at the University of British Columbia. Vincent spoke to Canadian Geographic about how protecting seahorses fits into the success of ocean conservation on a worldwide scale.
