Science Without Borders®
Science Without Borders ® is the overarching theme of the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation.
His Royal Highness Prince Khaled bin Sultan
of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia understands the challenges of conserving Earth’s coral reefs across oceans and political boundaries, and recognizes that scientific collaboration is vital to ocean conservancy. Inspired by the working approach of Medecins Sans Frontiers, Prince Khaled proposed that Science Without Borders® be the motto and the philosophy of the Living Oceans Foundation. As such, the foundation has formed partnerships with scientists and conservationists around the world to leverage resources, commitment, and ideas necessary to make substantial progress in the grand challenge of ocean conservancy and sustainable usage.
