Save Our Seahorses Site-PageOVERVIEW

SOS stands for "Save Our Seahorses". Founded in 2004, it is a non-profit group committed to saving the seahorse and its associated habitats. Our mission is geared towards conserving not only the seahorse, but the ecosystem seahorses are dependent on, such as seagrass, mangrove and coral reef.

Our project is built upon research, education and outreach, active lobbying, capacity building and communication. Presently, SOS operates in two project locations (1) the Pulai River Estuary in Johor, (2) Semporna, Sabah.

Last Sunday, 9 Jun 2013, Save Our Seahorses Malaysia bade farewell to its Founder and Team Leader, Choo Chee Kuang after a long but incredibly brave struggle with cancer. Chee Kuang will fondly be remembered for his pioneering work on seahorses and the conservation of their precious seagrass home in Sungai Pulai, Johor.

Chee Kuang touched the lives of many who came in contact with him, and inspired many to engage in marine conservation. He will be dearly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him intimately.

Thank you for the wonderful years for the seahorses and all those around it. Rest in peace our dear ecowarrior. May you bask in the warmth of Sungai Pulai's tropical sun forever.
