Rough Translation:

During the third Ocean Decade Foundations Dialogue that took place in Monaco, Her Royal Highness Princess Hala bint Khalid bin Sultan Al Saud participated in this important ocean conservation conference.

In her speech during the opening session at this prestigious event, Princess Hala stressed that this work requires a collective effort and not an individual effort, as she stressed how her father, His Highness Prince Khalid bin Sultan, tried as much as possible to preserve coral reefs, which planted a sense of responsibility in her to protect these reefs, which are an important environmental treasure.

To reach the goals set by the organizers, for three consecutive days, about 20 institutions met to reflect on how to support ocean conservation.

Along with Princess Hala bint Khalid bin Sultan, Prince Albert II of Monaco, Princess Lalla Hasnaa, Olivier Wendé and Oderi Azoulay, Director-General of UNESCO, participated in this important Foundations Dialogue meeting.

From Dialogue to Action: Ocean Foundations Gather in Stockholm

What can philanthropy accomplish when foundations working across ocean science, conservation, and sustainable development come together around a shared purpose?

That question was at the heart of the 6th UN Ocean Decade Foundations Dialogue, held September 7–9 in Stockholm, Sweden. The Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation joined philanthropic organizations from around the world for three days of discussion, collaboration, and planning focused on accelerating progress during the second half of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development.

Facilitated by UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC), the UN Ocean Decade Foundations Dialogue is a growing network of more than 30 philanthropic organizations committed to advancing ocean science, collaboration, and action. Since its creation within the framework of the Ocean Decade, the Dialogue has provided foundations with a space to exchange ideas, develop partnerships, and explore how philanthropy can help advance a healthy and resilient ocean.

Hosted by the Voice of the Ocean Foundation (VOTO), this year’s gathering began with From Depth to Action, an Opening Forum that brought nearly 100 leaders from the Swedish and international ocean community together at…

Meet IFAN: Helping Bring Navigate with Care to the Next Generation

If you’ve ever seen a lighthouse flashing from the shore or a brightly colored buoy bobbing in the water, you’ve seen Aids to Navigation at work.

Aids to Navigation, often called AtoNs, help mariners navigate safely. They can mark channels, warn of hazards, help vessels determine their position, and provide other information people need to make safe decisions on the water. Around the world, these systems help guide everything from small recreational boats to large commercial or container ships.

But safe navigation isn’t only about protecting vessels and the people aboard them. The choices mariners make can also affect the animals and ecosystems beneath and around them.

That connection between maritime safety and ocean conservation is at the heart of this year’s Science Without Borders® Challenge—and of our partnership with this year’s theme sponsor, the International Foundation for Aids to Navigation (IFAN).
