This pair of artworks showcases the diversity of the pipefish family. On top, Mark Anthony Jose captures a pipefish cruising a coral reef. Below, Muhmin Micheal Manting highlights a ghost pipefish adapted to tropical waters. Both Philippine-based artists reveal these hidden residents of our oceans.
A striking #IconicFishes duo from the Philippines! Breanna Jose brings a leafy seadragon to life in bold colours, while Vanessa Mae Tumang captures a pygmy seahorse clinging to its coral home.

Project Seahorse just had its team building activity at U Paint I Fire in Vancouver, Canada. The team came together to paint pottery inspired by #IconicFishes. It was a good reminder why art matters in conservation and a fun way to discover that our scientists are also good with paintbrushes!
This year’s #WorldOceanDay theme invites us to reimagine our relationship with the ocean. For us, that means using art to help people see, love, and protect our #Iconicfishes and their home. Celebrate by joining our global arts movement now! Explore our inspiration kit on www.iconicfishes.art

We’re thrilled to present Ingrid Wildlines' piece, Inspired by #IconicFishes. She beautifully highlights the pygmy seahorse, a tiny species that spends its life hidden among gorgonian corals. Her work reminds us how art and curiosity can grow into a deeper commitment to protecting our iconic fishes.

The 1859 artwork ‘Ocean Life’ gives a wonderful impression of the real-life complexity which few humans then had the chance to see; Helen Scales describes some of its 75 species. For those of us looking out for #IconicFishes, a #seahorse & #cornetfish stand out. 🧵 3/
