We owe a debt of gratitude to the host nations of the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Global Reef Expedition who not only permitted our team to work in their countries, but also provided both logistical and scientific support. We are similarly indebted to the crew of the M/Y Golden Shadow, through the generosity of HRH Prince Khaled bin Sultan, for their inexhaustible help in the field. The project would have been impossible without the 200 scientists who participated in the Global Reef Expedition
