The Foundation worked with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) to inform marine spatial planning in Fiji, Tonga, and the Solomon Islands using data collected on the Global Reef Expedition. IUCN’s Oceania Regional Office worked with countries to implement marine spatial planning as part of their Marine and Coastal Biodiversity Management in Pacific Island Countries (MACBIO) project. The Foundation shared all of the data we collected during the GRE in these countries. Our research helped to fill critical gaps in knowledge in these remote areas that were integrated into MACBIO’s South Pacific marine spatial planning processes.

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.
