World Heritage for the High Seas

Embodying our motto Science Without Borders®, the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation supported the efforts of the UNESCO World Heritage Centre Marine Programme to identify ways in which World Heritage status could be used to protect outstanding places on the High Seas.
