A Different Kind of Farm

Winner, LA Femme International Film Festival's Best Animal Rights Documentary. In 1998, Carol and Craig Schmarr took their life savings and moved to Kona, Hawaii to save the endangered seahorse. Seahorses were disappearing from the oceans at an alarming rate, and they decided to create the world's first breeding farm. But the seahorse had never been bred in captivity and they were told by experts that it was impossible. This is the story of how they discovered the secret and their endeavor to save the seahorse from extinction. Interviews with their collaborators and critics shed light on the conflict that exists over the use of our endangered natural resources on the reefs of Hawaii, The Kingdom of Tonga, and elsewhere in the tropics.

What a wonderful group of people. I have been in awe of seahorses since a child and have always seen them as very special. Watching this video was a validation of just how beautiful and special they are. It's saddens me to see how these animals are becoming extinct and to see the destruction of other sea animals and corals. We need to include the protection of sealife into a global awareness and implement strict sealife protection laws worldwide. God bless all the people doing this work and our sea animals. 🙏🐠

By the by... the fact that 3919 viewers before me have watched this wonderful endeavour of this amazing group of people, and only 52 (including myself) could be even bothered to give it a thumbs up is well and truly beyond me (and don't get me started on the troglodytes who voted it down; seriously?)! No wonder these magical little critters are at risk of extinction...

Cool

Game wardens in other states strictly enforce fishing laws. Why isn't Hawaii doing this?

[@OrioleBeagle]

Freshwater hobbyists are much better at breeding fish than the saltwater hobbyists

[@PazLeBon]

highly respect these folk but the first? highly controversial statement, some of us bred them over a decade ago :/ :) Amazing how this has such low view count considering we are inthe middle of our green movement.
