Eat Chocolate and Save Seahorses!
Now we all have a very conscientious reason to eat lots of yummy choccies!

I was kindly given a big box of Guylian chocolates by my neighbour for Christmas. I don't eat a lot of chocolate but the leaflet that came with the box tells me about 'Project Seahorse - Advancing Marine Conservation'.

It states:

Quote:
Guylian's Commitment to Conservation

Marine life is threatened around the world.

Project Seahorse finds conservation solutions for seahorses and coastal seas in which they live.

Guylian has provided vital support for this work since 1998.

Each time you buy a box of Guylian Belgian chocolates, you contribute to saving seahorses and the seas.

To find out more about our successes, visit us at Project Seahorse
Wehey! Eat chocolate and save the World!

Project Seahorse - awwwwww


Just had a look at the site. I would love to be one of the volunteers, but there is no way I could raise the 2400 USD in order to go and do it. There are so many opportunities do volunteer diving, yet they all cost an absolute fortune to do. Why isn't there anything you can volunteer for in diving without it costing a fortune ?

Dont like their chocs v much but some of those pics when you go to the site are superb. Love pigmy seahorses and the winning pic is fantastic. Personally I Tthink the princess seahorse that had a special merit award should have come second. (its the pic top right on the photo page)

Well then you can only do what you can do, so eat the chocolates

Now if we can get Cadburys to do this, I'll be all over it like a rash

I thought it was 'Save the cheerleader, save the world.'?

So does this mean Guylian have stopped making chocolate seahorses as this can only lead to confusion?
