From the Baltic to the Aegean: Discovering coastal ecosystems in Europe

The Tara Ocean Foundation has come to be known worldwide as a leader when it comes to promoting the well-being of our oceans, and its ship, the Tara, is currently docked in Greece, wrapping up a scientific expedition to better understand the biodiversity and ecosystems along Europe’s coastlines. Thanos Davelis was able to tour the ship and see its work up close this week in Athens, and is joined on our podcast by Romain Troublé, the General Director of the Tara Ocean Foundation, to look at the Tara’s mission in Greece, and discuss the broader impact this research can have for our oceans and seas.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Η Ελλάδα, τελευταία στάση της πρώτης πανευρωπαϊκής αποστολής για τις ανθρώπινες επιπτώσεις στις θάλασσεςTraversing European CoastlinesIntegrating the ocean into the climate regime: the Ocean & Climate Platform’s challengeEnvironmental pollution caused by microplastics: the example of mermaid tearsGreece restricts outdoor work as temperatures soar againPM hints at electricity allowancesPower subsidies in August
