Seahorses in many cases are in a tough way because the environment’s not what it should be. And there was a lot of international effort at not only China to propagate them so we don’t have to extract them from the wild. But also talking to local communities that are perhaps overfishing them for the curio business, Chinese medicine, whatever. To the point that they actually started working in this case with the Philippines, with creating marine protected areas. Basically saying if you guys can stop fishing in this big area offshore from your village and maybe go a little further afield, you’re gonna realize tremendous success. Because they found in studies that if you leave the area to its own devices, the population comes back and often comes back so strongly that it spills into adjoining communities. So it it comes down to regulation. Yeah, of extraction.
