The brewery donates 5p from every bottle of its award-winning Seahorse beer sold to the group.
The Seahorse Trust was founded in 1999 by Neil Garrick-Maidment to preserve and conserve the natural world, especially the marine environment, with the seahorse as its flagship species. The trust makes a difference through education, conservation, and campaigning for protected areas.
“Salcombe Brewery Co has been incredibly supportive of our work over the last five years,” he said. “Their regular donations are an invaluable resource for our much-needed conservation work.
“The funds raised from their sales help the trust carry out essential tasks, including habitat monitoring, research, and the promotion of the sustainable populations, which face ongoing threats from habitat destruction and pollution.”
Jordan Mace, managing director of Salcombe Brewery Co, said: “The surrounding coastal environment has always been hugely important to Salcombe Brewery Co.
“The Salcombe Estuary is one of the few places in the UK where you can find the rarer of the two species of seahorse, and we partnered with The Seahorse Trust five years ago to raise funds to support these endangered creatures. We give a regular donation to The Seahorse Trust and are pleased to be handing over £2,312.”
