PangeaSeed Foundation is pleased to announce the latest fine art print release for their educational print program, Printed Oceans. Featuring original artwork by supporting ARTivist Zoe Keller (USA). "Syngnathidae" is a limited art print edition highlighting the plight of some of the ocean's most unique and charismatic creatures, and the importance of a healthy ocean ecosystem
Our oceans cover more than 70 percent of the Earth’s surface and are home to an incredible 94 percent of the planet’s living species. With so much of the Earth’s surface taken up by the ocean, it’s evident how vital these marine environments are to the planet, and how much there still is to be explored.

Artist statement:
Syngnathidae is a family of bony fishes that includes seahorses, seadragons, pipefish and pipehorses. These small, charismatic creatures are important symbols of healthy ocean ecosystems, and they are disappearing. Each year, millions are swept up in trawl nets as bycatch, and millions more are traded illegally for use in traditional medicine and as dried curiosities in souvenir shops. Development, pollution, agricultural fertilizer runoff, and ocean warming driven by the climate crisis are all making life untenable for those that evade capture. By protecting our marine waters, and supporting the work of organizations like Project Seahorse, The Seahorse Trust, and the IUCN SSC Seahorse, Pipefish, and Seadragon Specialist Group, we can preserve these incredible ocean jewels, and the ecosystems they call home, for generations to come.
