تُساهم #كاوست في إلهام جيل الغد لدعم استدامة #البيئة، حيث استقبلت الجامعة طلبة من مدرسة المعرفة العالمية بجدة في إطار مشروعهم المدرسي عن الحياة #البحرية، وأتيحت لهم الفرصة لاستكشاف المرافق البحثية، وخوض نقاشات مثرية حول حماية البيئة البحرية في البحر الأحمر. 🌊🪸

When even the check-in crew have to circle the fact that you started your journey 2.5 days before you are actually due to arrive. An epic 60hr trip* back from Reef Futures in Mexico, to Jeddah, with Dave our Chief Scientist. * trip still in progress, 1/3 way over the Atlantic 😀
