Tara Oceans Events
On October 26-November 16, the Schooner Tara will stop in San Diego. French BioBeach, and UK Sailmaker, local partners, will be coordinating the events (open house, scientific symposium, press conferences, out-reaches to the marine and education communities) during Tara’s stop-over in San Diego. The importance of Science and Marine research is an integral part of the San Diego community. We expect the Schooner Tara sailing expedition to generate a lot of interest among the general public and research scientists.
