Fondation Tara Océan

The Fondation Tara Océan, first recognized public interest foundation in France dedicated to the world's oceans, is leading a scientific revolution: the Foundation has developed an open, innovative Ocean science that will enable us to predict, anticipate and better manage tomorrow's climate risks. We use high-level scientific expertise to raise awareness and educate young people, mobilize policy makers at the highest level, and enable emerging and developing countries to access the latest knowledge about the Ocean. A veritable floating laboratory, the research schooner Tara has already traveled more than 375,000 kilometers, making stopovers in more than 60 countries during 4 major expeditions, carried out in collaboration with international laboratories of excellence (CNRS, CEA, PSL, EMBL, MIT , NASA, and others).
