Back to the heart of the Tara Polar Station construction site. Designed to drift with the pack ice and withstand extreme conditions, this research vessel is pushing the boundaries of marine engineering. But behind this technical challenge are, above all, the men and women who have worked behind the scenes: welders, engineers, naval architects, logisticians… Discover some of these extraordinary professions.

In this article, we take a look at major ocean crossings. From the first ocean expeditions to modern shipping routes, we revisit transatlantic and transpacific voyages, as well as the winds and currents that make them possible by sailboat.

10 minutes to understand plankton: simple definition, types, key role in the ocean, oxygen, and climate. Clear, quick, essential.

Faced with accelerating climate change, coral reefs are among the most threatened ecosystems on the planet. However, some corals seem to be more resistant to rising temperatures. With the Tara Coral expedition, the Tara Ocean Foundation and its scientific partners are conducting an expedition to the heart of the Coral Triangle to understand the mechanisms of this thermotolerance.

Nous invitons les institutions, centres d’art et lieux culturels à s’associer à cette aventure collective pour porter au travers des artistes les grandes questions contemporaines liées à l’Océan.

Long perceived as a white and silent desert, the Arctic region is actually home to significant biodiversity. From snow-capped peaks to the depths of the ocean, many species have developed unique adaptations to survive in this extreme environment.

The scientific community is calling for a rethink of how Marine Protected Areas operate, and we support this ambitious vision: truly dynamic MPAs based on science, innovation and the involvement of local communities.
