New online training course on wild seahorse population monitoring

Great news for those who want to take seahorse citizen science to the next level: We've just launched a free online training course that teaches you how to do long-term monitoring of wild seahorse populations.

Course objectives:

• Learn how to find possible locations for seahorses
• Understand how citizen scientists can contribute data for conservation and research
• Identify different species of seahorses
• Be able to collect data on seahorses and their habitat underwater and submit data to iSeahorse

Seahorse trends monitors are an important part of citizen science, as the data you collect can be used to map population and habitat changes over time, identify threats, and kickstart conservation action.
