The Living Oceans Foundation Global Reef Expedition returns to Tonga to conduct land-based research, as a follow-up to their earlier visit here in the Fall of 2013, with three main goals in mind: (1) To better understand how the coral reef resources surveyed during the last Tonga mission are being used by the people of Tonga; (2) to promote primary and secondary coral reef and ocean conservation education throughout the main Vava’u Island chain; (3) to begin work on a documentary film about the many ways people rely on the reef here.

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.
