TL;DR: Tara Oceans Data as discussed by the authors is a collection of seawater and plankton collected during the 2009-2013 Tara Oceans Expedition (2009-2013) in 20 biogeographic provinces of the world.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors recommend key strategies to address these challenges, including stronger integration of sciences and ocean-observing systems, improved science-policy interfaces, new partnerships supported by a new ocean-climate finance system, and improved ocean literacy and education to modify social norms and behaviors.

TL;DR: An overview of Tara Oceans Data is presented, and detailed registries (data sets) of all campaigns (from port-to-port), stations and sampling events are provided.

TL;DR: The Tara Pacific project aims to provide a baseline of the “-omics” complexity of the coral holobiont and its ecosystem across the Pacific Ocean and for various oceanographically distinct defined areas, shedding light on the complex links between genomes, transcriptomes, metabolomes, organisms, and ecosystem functions in coral reefs.

TL;DR: The Tara Pacific Expedition as discussed by the authors was a 29-month exploration with the dual goals to study the ecology of reef ecosystems along ecological gradients in the Pacific Ocean and to assess inter-island and open ocean surface plankton and neuston community structures.
