Marine ecosystems: Oceanic plankton, Climate and Development

The collaboration between the FFEM and the Tara Ocean Foundation began in 2015 with the instruction of the Ocean Plankton, Climate and Development project: it was the beginning of a collective adventure that transformed our respective modes of action.
It continues today with a new project that will measure the development of plankton in upwelling systems of the Humboldt and Canary currents. It will also provide a better understanding of its carbon sequestration services and its contribution to fish stock renewal. It will also aim to accompany the implementation of the Treaty on the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Marine Biodiversity in Non-National Jurisdiction Areas, which was unanimously accepted by 193 States on 4 March;2023, at the United Nations headquarters in New York.
