Tara Pacific

Tara Pacific is a scientific research expedition that studies coral reefs in the Pacific Ocean. Using a large research vessel, scientists collect samples from corals, algae, and surrounding waters to understand how these ecosystems function and respond to environmental changes like climate change and pollution. The project aims to uncover how coral reefs adapt and to identify ways to protect and restore these vital habitats, which support diverse marine life and protect coastlines. By combining fieldwork with advanced genetic and ecological analyses, Tara Pacific enhances our knowledge of reef resilience and sustainability.
