The Living Oceans Foundation joined forces with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) to help them launch a groundbreaking new member magazine, ‘Unite for Nature.’ This publication embodies the shared vision of IUCN and its members to work collectively towards a just world that values and preserves nature. The foundation plays a pivotal role in this venture as a member of the magazine’s editorial board. The magazine celebrates the accomplishments of the IUCN community and highlights success stories, ongoing initiatives, and plans for the future of conservation. The first issue of this magazine launched in September 2023, and will continue to be published bi-annually in three languages – English, French, and Spanish – ensuring accessibility to a global audience.

As the program progresses, we continue to gather feedback to see how their knowledge evolves from identifying mangrove species and understanding food webs to recognizing the role mangroves play in coastal protection and climate change mitigation.
But the surveys go beyond science content.
We also ask students…
