PHILIPPINES – Singapore Oceanarium welcomes visitors to explore the secret world of native seahorses and local biodiversity with its new program, Animal Spotlight: Seahorses. This includes daily 45-minute guided sessions limited to eight participants, providing an intimate, personalized experience. Led by animal care experts, these encounters offer behind-the-scenes access, fostering a deeper connection to Singapore’s marine life and biodiversity.
Animal Spotlight: Seahorses is an intimate behind-the-scenes program that highlights native seahorses and Singapore’s marine biodiversity.
Guests will embark on an immersive journey through the oceanarium, exploring a variety of vital aquatic habitats that showcase the rich diversity of marine life. Following this, they will visit the newly inaugurated Seahorse Support Area, a dedicated space designed for education and conservation.
Here, visitors can observe feeding sessions where they will see seahorses actively hunt and interact, while also learning in detail about seahorse care, including nutritional needs and habitat requirements. Additionally, they will gain insights into breeding programs and the specialized husbandry practices used to ensure the health and sustainability of these fascinating creatures.
Seahorses are known for their distinctive biology, such as male pregnancy and specialized hunting methods. They are vital to coastal ecosystems but face growing threats from habitat destruction, pollution, and accidental catch in fisheries. The program highlights these issues and showcases regional conservation efforts and research collaborations.
Participants will also learn how the Singapore Oceanarium promotes seahorse conservation by conducting monitoring surveys and collaborating across Southeast Asia, contributing to the protection of wild populations and habitats.
Animal Spotlight: Seahorses are available daily. Sessions cost S$28 per participant, excluding admission to the oceanarium. Each 45-minute session can host up to eight participants and includes an exclusive program lanyard and credential. Book your spot at www.singaporeoceanarium.com/.
This experience is the newest addition to the Animal Spotlight series at Singapore Oceanarium, created to align with global awareness efforts and the oceanarium’s ongoing programs.
