Latest Science

Heat, human, hydrodynamic, and habitat drivers measured from space correlate with metrics of reef health across the South Pacific

This paper in Coral Reefs, utilized the Living Oceans Foundation’s Global Reef Expedition field dataset to build a model that can predict coral cover and other metrics of coral reef health using open-source satellite data.

⚓ Join us for the next Navigate with Care webinar!The Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation and the International Foundation for Aids to Navigation (IFAN) invite you to:Navigate with Care: Understanding Aids to Navigation 📅 Thursday, September 18, 2025 🕙 10:00 AM EDT / 4:00 PM CESTAids to Navigation (AtoNs)—such as buoys, beacons, and channel markers—are critical tools for safe boating. But did you know they also help to protect fragile marine ecosystems? From preventing vessel groundings on coral reefs to guiding boats away from marine mammal habitats, AtoNs play a vital role in both maritime safety and ocean conservation.In this webinar, experts from IALA, Pacific-Community-SPC, and MENAS will: ✔️ Explain how AtoNs are designed, maintained, and deployed ✔️ Explore their role in protecting marine ecosystems and wildlife ✔️ Share real-world case studies where smart navigation helped reduce damage to marine habitats and made the seas safer for everyoneWhether you’re a mariner, conservationist, or ocean advocate, this session will help you chart a safer, more sustainable course.👉 Register here: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/… ...

“Without a doubt, J.A.M.I.N. is the most transformative program I’ve encountered in my entire teaching career.” – Ms. Fulvia Nugent 🌿For a decade, the J.A.M.I.N. program (Jamaica Awareness of Mangroves in Nature) has helped students see science not just as lessons in a textbook, but as real-world action to protect their environment. 🌱We interviewed Ms. Fulvia Nugent, Head of Science at William Knibb Memorial High School, who has been part of J.A.M.I.N. since the very beginning. She shared how the program has shaped her teaching, inspired her students, and changed how they view—and value—the mangrove forests in their community.👉 Read her reflections here: ...

🌿 “Planting the mangroves made me feel at ease, like I was changing the future of Jamaica.” – Ribbonae, William Knibb Memorial High SchoolWe are so inspired by the reflections of students in our Jamaica Awareness of Mangroves in Nature (J.A.M.I.N.) program. This program provides students with hands-on learning in the field while building knowledge about the critical role mangroves play in protecting coastlines, supporting biodiversity, and safeguarding communities.These experiences show just how powerful outdoor education can be in shaping the next generation of ocean stewards.We are grateful to our partners—@Discovery Bay Marine Lab, Playa Hotels & Resorts, and Sea the Change Foundation—for helping us make this program possible.Read more student voices from the 2024–2025 J.A.M.I.N. program here: 🔗 https://www.livingoceansfoundation.org/2024-2025-j-a-m-i-n-student-voices/#oceanliteracy #mangroveforests #NatureForAll #habitatrestoration ...
