The Tara Oceans expeditions

The Tara Oceans expeditions are a series of scientific voyages aimed at exploring the biodiversity and ecological dynamics of the world's oceans. Conducted on the research sailboat Tara, these expeditions gather data on marine life, particularly microscopic organisms like phytoplankton and zooplankton, and their role in the ecosystem. By sampling water, analyzing genetic material, and studying environmental conditions, researchers seek to better understand how climate change and human activities impact ocean health. The findings contribute to global efforts to protect marine ecosystems and ensure sustainable management of ocean resources.
