Established in 2003, the Tara Ocean Foundation was France’s first public interest foundation devoted to oceans. It is spearheading a scientific revolution focusing on oceans.
It is developing the open, innovative and ground-breaking science that will soon allow us to predict, pre-empt and better manage climate risks.
It uses this cutting-edge scientific expertise to raise awareness and educate young people, elicit action from political decision-makers at the highest level and enable emerging and developing countries to make use of this new knowledge of oceans.
Natural disasters caused by climate disruption are a constant reminder of the importance to protect our planet. By protecting our environment and adopting sustainable consumer practices, we help to build a better future.
