The Living Ocean Foundation Global Reef Expedition concludes its 2014 research mission schedule in the Solomon Islands. Research here contains four main components: (1) To collect detailed information about what lives on the reef; (2) To acquire high-resolution 360- degree panoramic imagery of the reefs via our partnership with Catlin Seaview Survey; (3) To make high resolution habitat maps of shallow marine areas round the islands; and (4) To measure what is stressing the coral and how resilient the coral is to those stresses. During this research mission we are working with Oceanwatch, a local NGO that has successfully created community based MPAs in the Solomon Islands.
Introducing Our New Website: A Fresh Look for the Foundation’s Future
As we celebrate the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation’s 25th anniversary, we are proud to unveil our newly redesigned website—a modern home for our science, conservation work, and educational programs. This launch marks an important moment for the Foundation as we honor our long history and look toward the future of ocean conservation.
For more than two decades, the Foundation has worked tirelessly to improve the health of our living oceans. We have advanced ocean science, led one of the largest coral reef research missions in history, restored mangrove forests with local communities, created award-winning education programs, and shared the wonders of the ocean with people around the world. Our new website reflects the organization we are today—focused on conserving coral reefs, restoring mangrove forests, and improving ocean literacy—while still highlighting the legacy of work that brought us here.
