There are 34 different subspecies of the Seahorse, that are listed on the IUCN Red List. They show a status from "endangered" with the population decreasing, to "data deficient" with the population unknown. Also, they have protection through the CITES, and their trade rules. The import, and export of seahorses has been under CITES control since May of 2004. While, Norway, Japan, South Korea, and Indonesia, all rejected the trade rules set by CITES for the trade, and commerce of Seahorses. So to say, that all Seahorses are listed with a status "endangered" would be misleading, there are just too many subspecies, at different levels of "danger" to make such a general statement. But, it's fair to say, that the species as a whole, is in danger, and may need help to face an uncertain future. To check on a specific subspecies, or for more details, see the sites listed below.
