Navigate with Care: Reefs are Nature’s Ally

Navigate with Care: Reefs are Nature’s Ally Hosted by the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation (KSLOF) and the International Foundation for Aids to Navigation (IFAN) Coral reefs, mangrove forests, and seagrass meadows do far more than sustain marine life—they protect coastlines, support livelihoods, and strengthen community resilience. Yet these critical ecosystems are under threat from both human activity and climate change. In this webinar, conservation scientists and maritime leaders explore how protecting these ecosystems also protects people, and how mariners can play a key role in keeping them safe. Learn how safe navigation practices—such as using Aids to Navigation (AtoNs), avoiding sensitive habitats, and planning routes carefully—can help safeguard these vital ecosystems for generations to come. 🎙️ Speakers: 🔹 Dr. Juliet Karisa, Research Scientist, Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute (KMFRI) 🔹 Dr. Ian McLeod, Adjunct Professor, James Cook University 🔹 Thierry Nervale, Director, Solomon Islands Maritime Authority (SIMA) 🔹 Dr. Krista D. Sherman, Senior Scientist, Perry Institute for Marine Science This webinar is part of the Navigate with Care campaign—an official UN Ocean Decade Activity led by IFAN and KSLOF—to promote safe and environmentally responsible boating practices that protect coral reefs, mangroves, and seagrass beds around the world. 🌊 Learn more and take the pledge to #NavigateWithCare: https://www.livingoceansfoundation.or...
