🌍 Mozambique: A community-led effort to stop devastating seahorse harvesting has been successful.

💰 The effort had to overcome a high economic motivation to pull and dry the regulated fish illegally for the black market. The rate of extraction was projected to eliminate all seahorses within a decade.

🤿 The solution involved creating an alternative: community-led, seahorse-focused ecotourism. Former extractors now take visitors on easy, low-impact snorkeling tours through seagrass.

💪 The community protects the seahorses now as central to their livelihood.
