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, an officially recognized public interest group, aims to advance knowledge about the Ocean and raise awareness of its vital importance among the general public, young people and decision-makers. We are working every day to protect the Ocean and marine biodiversity to guarantee the habitability of planet Earth.
