What’s it like to spend a day with the J.A.M.I.N. program? 🌿🔬 Isabel Key, a doctoral student at The University of Edinburgh, shares her experience in our latest blog!Currently interning with the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation and the University of the West Indies Discovery Bay Marine Lab, Isabel has been assisting with our education and restoration initiatives in Jamaica. She joined us for a hands-on day of mangrove learning—where students held sea cucumbers, examined coral up close, and even built a web of yarn to visualize the delicate balance of a mangrove food web.From moments of awe to impromptu singalongs, Isabel’s reflections capture the magic of inspiring the next generation of ocean stewards.

🌿 Mangroves are disappearing at an alarming rate—but students are stepping up to save them.Through our Mangrove Education and Restoration Program, the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation is empowering students in Jamaica and The Bahamas to become the next generation of environmental stewards. By combining classroom learning, hands-on research, and restoration efforts, students gain the knowledge and skills needed to protect these critical coastal ecosystems.At the heart of the program is a long-term scientific experiment—growing mangroves. Over eight months, students raise red mangrove seedlings, conduct experiments to determine the best soil conditions, and analyze data. By the end of the program, students participate in a mangrove restoration event, transplanting their seedlings into coastal areas near their schools to aid in ecosystem recovery. The result? A transformative experience that turns students into conservation leaders.Read our latest blog to learn more about the impact of our J.A.M.I.N. and B.A.M. programs and why mangrove restoration matters now more than ever:🔗 https://livingoceansfoundation.org/a-need-for-action-our-mangrove-education-and-restoration-program/#MangroveRestoration #EnvironmentalEducation #Conservation #NatureForAll #ScienceWithoutBorders #OceanLiteracy #10YearsofJAMIN ...
