The TerraMar Project was an environmentalist non-profit organization with the aim to protect the world's oceans, founded by Ghislaine Maxwell. Jonathan Soros was mentioned as friend and/or supporter of the organisation in 2012.[1][2]

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.[3] 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.[4] According to information provided to TED talks for a presentation by Ghislaine Maxwell:[5]

“[the The TerraMar Project] collaborates with stakeholders to make the oceans part of the 2015 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals”
 (2014)  [6]

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.
