World Technology welcomes Living Oceans Foundation to elevate global ocean awareness

This alliance will raise awareness of ocean conservation by expanding the reach of the Foundation’s educational content through the World Technology global platform.

NEW YORK, April 22, 2025 – World Technology, a global platform with a mission to celebrate human ingenuity through technology, science and innovation, welcomes the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting and restoring the world’s oceans through science, outreach, and education.

This partnership marks a vital step in connecting ocean science with global audiences, as World Technology will leverage its channels and platforms to amplify the Foundation’s award-winning educational resources and conservation initiatives. Together, the two organizations are committed to raising awareness of critical ocean issues — including climate change, overfishing, and pollution — and fostering a deeper understanding of coral reef ecosystems through technology and storytelling.

“We are honored to welcome the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation as it works to preserve, protect, and restore the world’s oceans and aquatic resources through research, education, and outreach with science-based solutions,” said Paul J. Foster, Executive Chairman of World Technology. “Through this collaboration, we are excited to spotlight their impactful content and bring their message of ocean stewardship to a global, scientific & tech-savvy audience.”

Established in 2000 under the leadership of HRH Prince Khaled bin Sultan, the Foundation is renowned for pioneering coral reef research and conservation, including the Global Reef Expedition—the largest coral reef survey and habitat mapping mission in history. World Technology will actively promote the Foundation’s interactive education portal, engaging curriculum, and conservation films across its platforms to connect with students, educators, and science enthusiasts worldwide.

“At the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation, we are committed to advancing ocean literacy and inspiring the next generation of marine stewards. By partnering with World Technology Games to share our educational and award-winning films online, we have an incredible opportunity to reach a broader audience and raise awareness about the critical issues facing our coral reefs. We hope this collaboration not only highlights the beauty and importance of these ecosystems, but also encourages more people—especially students and educators—to explore our Coral Reef Ecology Curriculum, and take action to protect our ocean,” said Alexandra Dempsey, CEO of the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation.

World Technology and the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation are united in their commitment to supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), particularly those focused on life below water and quality education.

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).
