We make contact with the sailing vessel Tara, somewhere off the coast of Africa and learn about Tara Oceans, a project of Tara Expeditions a French nonprofit program. During its last expedition, Tara Arctic, the ship experienced a 507-day drift, deliberately frozen into the ice pack of the Arctic Ocean. We chat with Romaine Troublé, Secretary General of Tara Expeditions and  Sy Rotter, Executive Director, TARA Foundation for Marine Research and learn about Tara Oceans, the organization’s latest project, a  3-year expedition around the world to study previously unknown and crucial marine ecosystems. Also, we “go deep” to understand the latest from the National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill.
