Tara Oceans travelog #2 – Life aboard Tara
Second week onboard the schooner Tara. We are leaving the Gambier islands to head up to the Marquesas. Life on-board is taking shape, along with the new team. But it’s winter here in Polynesia, and the trade winds are giving the researchers on board a rough time.

Tara Oceans travelog #1 – A week in the Gambier Islands
Tara: a schooner with a science mission to travel the world’s oceans on a global physico-chemical and biological sampling campaign. The goal? To study the marine ecosystem in an attempt to predict the impacts of climate change on plankton diversity. I join the expedition team in the Gambier Islands, at midpoint of a 3-year-long journey.
