Together, we can protect Ocean
The Tara Ocean Foundation explores the Ocean to protect the marine life.
Next expedition
Tara Coral
For two and a half years, Tara will sail the waters of six countries: Malaysia, the Philippines,
Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Palau, and India. Scientists on board, in collaboration with local stakeholders, will collect samples during dives to study the resilience of corals in the Coral Triangle.
Ultimately, this expedition could lead to the creation of marine protected areas in zones where high resistance is observed, and to better selection of corals for potential replanting programs.
