Angkor Wildlife & Aquarium (AWA), in collaboration with the Marine Aquaculture Research and Development Center (MARDEC), has officially begun the installation of a specialized seahorse breeding tank system at the MARDEC facility in Preah Sihanouk Province.
This initiative marks an important milestone in the partnership between the two organizations, focusing on the conservation, breeding, and research of seahorses, ornamental fish, and other endangered aquatic species.
The newly installed breeding system is designed to support aquatic animal care, scientific research, and future conservation programs aimed at strengthening Cambodia’s aquatic biodiversity. The project also contributes to environmental education by creating opportunities for learning, awareness, and collaboration in marine conservation efforts.
Through this partnership, AWA and MARDEC aim to promote sustainable conservation practices while helping protect vulnerable aquatic species for future generations.
Together, both organizations continue working toward a shared vision — safeguarding life beneath the water and inspiring greater appreciation for Cambodia’s rich aquatic ecosystems.
