Tara, the new exploration
The ocean is an essential player in the overall balance of the planet. However, this is a little known fact because of its enormous size and the technical difficulty of ocean observation. Thanks to the new knowledge that Tara has acquired during its scientific missions, we will soon be able to better predict and anticipate the evolution of the ocean in the face of climate disruptions and pollution. There is still a world of knowledge to be conquered.
