Who we are
Our future depends on the Ocean. No matter where we live on the planet, we all have good reason to understand and protect the Ocean.
The Foundation
The Tara Ocean Foundation is the first public-interest foundation in France dedicated to the Ocean. It leads scientific expeditions, in partnership with leading international research laboratories, to study marine biodiversity and understand the impacts of climate change and pollution. It raises public awareness, from younger generations to political decision-makers.
Exploring, sharing and protecting our living Ocean is more vital than ever. Together, let’s defend Life. Let’s protect the Ocean.
