The Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation is a non-profit organization that works to protect, preserve, and restore the world’s oceans and aquatic resources. Established in 2000, the foundation is based in the U.S., but works around the world to conserve coral reefs and other tropical marine ecosystems. Using a combination of science, outreach, and education, the Living Oceans Foundation works with coastal communities to co-design sustainable marine conservation programs, improve ocean literacy, and inspire the next generation of ocean leaders. All of our work is guided by our motto, Science Without Borders®, because we believe that by working together, we have the best chance to achieve lasting conservation. The foundation was established by His Royal Highness Princes Khaled bin Sultan of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which he now oversees in partnership with his daughter, Princess Hala bint Khaled bin Sultan. Under their leadership, the foundation has achieved many accomplishments, including developing state-of-the-art educational resources, producing several award-winning films, and organizing many large-scale research missions, including the Global Reef Expedition—the world’s largest coral reef survey and habitat mapping expedition. Now, the foundation is focused on using all we have learned to preserve the health of our living oceans…before it is too late.
