Stacey lives in Las Vegas, Nevada where she attends West Career and Technical Academy. I have had the pleasure of getting to know Stacey. She is very humble when talking about her artistic abilities.

The Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation is pleased to announce the finalists of the 2020 Science Without Borders® Challenge, our annual student art competition. This year we asked students to illustrate things people can do to help save coral reefs–and boy did they deliver!

The foundation received more entries to this year’s competition than ever before. Nearly 700 students from 43 countries sent in artwork, so picking the finalists was a difficult decision. Ultimately, finalists were chosen based on how well the artwork exemplified this year’s theme, the quality of the artwork, and the creativity and originality of their artwork.

The Global Reef Expedition: A mission to assess the health of coral reefs around the world

They wanted to take a snapshot of the reefs in time, to survey and map the reefs and assess their health before it was too late.
