Description

For two consecutive years (2023-2024), the schooner Tara is participating in the study of coastal ecosystems all along the European coast. The sampling of Tara Europa is part of the TREC expedition Traversing European Coastlines, led by the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in collaboration with the Tara OceanS consortium, the Tara Ocean Foundation and more than 70 scientific institutions. Its objective is to study the land-sea interface, where biodiversity meets numerous pollutions.
