The Foundation participated in a meeting in Suva, Fiji, in support of the Lau Seascape Initiative (LSI), where we discussed the local, regional, and global context for the status of the Lau reefs and what new technologies and methods KSLOF is helping refine for sustainable coral reef management. We also participated in the United Nations Pacific Islands Conference on Ocean Science and Ocean Management in Nadi, Fiji. This conference brought together international scientists, conservationists, and community leaders to address the issues affecting the Pacific Islands. The foundation presented past findings from the Global Reef Expedition as well as our UN Ocean Decade Project, Science Without Borders®: Conserving the Tropics. At both of these events, we highlighted the foundation’s commitment to implementing science-based conservation solutions that incorporate traditional knowledge and key stakeholder involvement.
