Exploring the Ocean
The Earth is a blue planet. The Ocean covers 70.8% of its surface, drawing and connecting continents. Due to its biodiversity and size, it is at the heart of major planetary balances. Under anthropic pressure from overfishing, multiple pollution and global warming, it is urgent to explore this Ocean to understand and protect it as quickly as possible.
Essential research for life
Keeping the planet’s global health in mind, the Tara Ocean Foundation, together with its scientific consortia partners, focuses its energy and sponsors’ support on exploring marine biodiversity — which is still poorly understood — and studying the major impacts of climate change, multiple pollution and human activities on its health.
Our scientific boats
Going to sea, spending time sailing on the Ocean, telling its beauty and fragility, and sharing the human adventure to convince and simply give access to this environment to researchers is one of the challenges of this century.
Tara Polar Station
A true ISS of the North Pole, Tara Polar Station, is a scientific observatory and laboratory that will allow the study of this extreme region, a true sentinel of global warmingOur scientific publications
