    • Our Coral Reef Ecology Curriculum is a great resource for students and teachers. Filled with lesson plans, videos, and interactive learning exercises, our education portal engages and inspires students to learn about coral reefs and to become stewards of this vital ecosystem.

    • The application period for the 2023 Science Without Borders® Challenge is now closed, but will open again in the fall. This annual art contest encourages students to learn about important ocean science and conservation issues through art. The competition is open to middle and high school students 11-19 years old, with prizes of up to $500 awarded to the winning entries.

    The Living Oceans Foundation has promoted Alexandra Dempsey to be our new Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Alex brings with her a deep knowledge of the Foundation and our scientific research, as she first joined us to survey reefs on the Global Reef Expedition in 2011. Since then, she has surveyed coral reefs around the world, authored dozens of scientific papers, and gained a deep understanding of coral reefs and the threats they face. Her experience and expertise in coral reef ecosystems will not only be instrumental in shaping our science programs, it will help guide the Foundation into the future as we continue to work towards the conservation and sustainability of our precious marine ecosystems.

    To understand the crisis plaguing the world’s tropical oceans, the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation spent 10 years mapping and surveying the world’s reefs, collecting an array of scientific data, conducting outreach and education activities, and establishing a baseline status of the world’s reefs and nearshore habitats. Our Science Without Borders®: Conserving the Tropics project will leverage this dataset for conservation, using it to improve the monitoring and management of coral reefs, seagrass meadows, and mangrove forests. Using our network of in-country partners, this project will allow us to bring science, outreach, and education programs to small island developing states and least-developed countries, engage communities, improve ocean literacy, and develop science-based solutions to conserve tropical marine ecosystems.
