What they found were the earliest known examples of reef fishes found anywhere on Earth."The fish fossils found in Palenque were from species that had never been seen before. “It was just like a movie script,” says marine biologist David Bellwood at James Cook University in Australia, who was brought in to help identify the fossilized fishes. “We found them on the lids of tombs.” Read the full story in Hakai Magazine: ...

Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation is at Port Antonio High School.

Students at Port Antonio High School in Jamaica participating in our mangrove education and restoration program (J.A.M.I.N.), plant mangrove propagules in different substrates to see how it impacts the growth of the mangrove saplings. Here a student works with his teacher to plant a mangrove in sand and track its growth. At the end of the school year we’ll return to help them plant their mangroves back in the forest, helping to restore this important ocean ecosystem.#stem #steam #experientiallearning #conservation #restoration #mangroves ...

Our newest project, Science Without Borders: Conserving the Tropics, was proposed to help address the United Nations Ocean Decade Challenge to “understand the effects of multiple stressors on ocean ecosystems, and develop solutions to monitor, protect, manage and restore ecosystems and their biodiversity under changing environmental, social and climate conditions.” This project focuses primarily on conserving tropical marine ecosystems, including coral reefs, seagrasses, and mangroves, as well as incorporating measurable actions that communities can use to reach their conservation goals.
