For the past 15 years, I have studied the White's seahorse and the Cauliflower soft coral; the seahorse loves the soft coral as habitat. Both species were recently listed as Endangered as a result of declines across their range. #NationalThreatenedSpeciesDay #ThreatenedSpeciesDay

1 day left! On the tail end of #ThreatenedSpecies day, these cuties (+142 others) will meet the Big Blue for the first time tomorrow! Releasing these juvenile White's seahorses into #Sydney Harbour will hopefully help save this #Endangered species Sugar Mummies Rwanda Mitchell Brennan

Today we released over 140 juvenile Endangered White's Seahorses into our sites in Sydney Harbour. These seahorses have been bred & reared at Sugar Mummies Rwanda and are part of our recovery project for the species. Dave Harasti David John Booth @SydneyMarine UTS Science Taylors Wines

FINALLY got a fish paper review job & would you know it, seahorses *checks notes* HAVE NO SPLEEN and this may be an evolutionary trade off to suppress immune response = successful male pregnancy 🤯 this having only evolved 25 odd mya 🧐 is this true and how in the world?!

Our new seahorse hotels have been deployed in Botany Bay. It is very exciting to see the progression of this project, with our seahorse conservation efforts including artificial habitat provision now expanding with natural habitat (Posidonia) restoration! #WorldOceansDay

Today I met with staff at Sea Life Sydney and the Sydney Institute of Marine Science, two institutions who play an important role in the fight against extinction.

I stepped behind the scenes of the groundbreaking Seahorse Hotels which start as artificial habitats but are completely biodegradable so will grow into natural habitats once they are placed in the marine environment.

Our ambition is to understand the inter-connectivity and benefits of restoration at a holistic level, and our hope is that our template for seascape restoration can be then used throughout NSW and further abroad.

First conference tweet IPFC2023 Great talk from Mitchell Brennan outlining their learnings on breeding and supplementation of big and healthy endangered White’s Seahorses (Hippocampus whitei) into #SydneyHarbour and NSW more broadly. Tidy work!
