Building on the success of our Mangrove Education & Restoration program in Jamaica, the Living Oceans Foundation launched Bahamian Awareness of Mangroves (B.A.M.) to support mangrove education and restoration in The Bahamas. The B.A.M. program provides classrooms with lesson plans and activities as well as providing the opportunity for students to experience the mangrove ecosystem first-hand and help restore it. During the project, students grow mangrove propagules in their classroom that they then study and plant in a local mangrove forest at the end of the school year.
Global Reef Expedition Data Contributes to Landmark Report on the World’s Coral Reefs
More than a decade after scientists aboard the Global Reef Expedition surveyed coral reefs across the Pacific, the data they collected continues to contribute to our understanding of the world’s coral reefs.
Today, the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network (GCRMN) released Status of Coral Reefs of the World: 2025, the most comprehensive assessment to date of the status and trends of coral reefs worldwide. The report brings together an extraordinary amount of information collected over more than four decades—and the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation is proud to have contributed data from the Global Reef Expedition to this global effort.
