Seahorses, Seagrass, and Saving the Planet

Vincent Tan, Journalist | Wong Jieyi, Project Manager, Save Our Seahorses

Seahorses, Seagrass, and Saving the Planet

What do a mudflat at dawn, an endangered seahorse, and climate action have in common? More than you’d expect. We speak to Vincent Tan, who recently wrote about his journey to the Merambong seagrass meadow, and Wong Jieyi, a Project Manager from Save Our Seahorses, about how this tiny fish is anchoring big conversations around conservation, public participation, and sustainable development.
