The TerraMar Project was an environmentalist non-profit organization with the aim to protect the world's oceans, founded by Ghislaine Maxwell.[1] Jonathan Soros was mentioned as friend and/or supporter of the organisation in 2012 (along with others).[2][3] The project was endorsed by the Clinton foundation in 2013.[4][5][6]

History

TerraMar was founded at the Blue Ocean Film Festival and Conservation Conference in Monterey, California. A sister organisation in the United Kingdom was incorporated in 2013.[7] It's aim was to focus on the 64% of the ocean that lies outside any single country's jurisdiction (also known as the high seas or international waters) and to create a "global ocean community" based around the idea of shared ownership of the global commons.[8] According to information provided to TED talks for a presentation by Ghislaine Maxwell:[9] {{#subobject: |Has superobject=The TerraMar Project |Has objectClass=Quotation |Has author=|+sep=, |Has text=“[the The TerraMar Project] collaborates with stakeholders to make the oceans part of the 2015 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals” |Is about=The TerraMar Project,United Nations Sustainable Development Goals|+sep=, |Has wikipediaPage= |Has location=|+sep=, |Has publicationDate=2014 |Sourced from= |Has sourceDetails= |Has sourceTitle= |Has sourceName= |Has sourceURL=https://web.archive.org/web/20190814123616/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dz7jG6IOFPo

TerraMar (US) announced its closure on 12 July 2019, shortly after New York federal prosecutors arrested Maxwell's close associate Jeffrey Epstein. TerraMar (UK) was officially dissolved on 3 December 2019.
