✨ A Special Shout-Out to Our Seahorse Namers! ✨

One of the most meaningful parts of our monitoring trips is seeing participants form a personal connection with the seahorses they encounter. This year, some of those names became very familiar to us! 💛

Most Sighted Seahorses of the Year:
🥇 1st Place: Xiao Min — named by Chew Jaime (7 sightings since 2024)
🥈 2nd Place: Astrid — named by Danial (6 sightings)
🥉 3rd Place (tie):
* Neptune — named by Violet (5 sightings since 2024)
* Ngkalipop — named by Ng Kyle Yii (5 sightings)

Thank you to everyone who joined our trips and gave these seahorses their names. Your curiosity, care, and enthusiasm are what make this project truly special.

❗Our 2026 schedule is now out.
Join us on an upcoming trip and you might just spot and name a seahorse of your own! 🤩

See you on the seagrass bed!

2025 Seahorse Monitoring Yearly Review! ✨

As we wrap up another incredible year at Merambong Shoal, we’re excited to share what we’ve achieved together! 🧡

From tiny sea creatures to curious kids, returning volunteers, passionate students and teachers, corporate groups, families, and first-time explorers, this year has been filled with learning, discovery, and meaningful moments in the seagrass meadow.

A huge thank you to our funders for their continuous support, to our dedicated team for their hard work in every tide and weather, and to every single participant who walked the seagrass bed with us. You are the heart of this project.

Together, we’re not just spotting seahorses, we’re building awareness, nurturing young ocean lovers, and contributing to the conservation of one of Malaysia’s most unique marine ecosystems. 🌱

Here’s to another year of exploration, learning, and protecting the magical world beneath our feet.

See you in 2026! 🤗
