Tara Oceans Foundation

Coral reefs cover less than 0.2% of the ocean yet sustain nearly 30% of known marine biodiversity. With many reefs disappearing, studying these fragile ecosystems is an urgent global priority. The Tara Pacific expedition explored coral reefs across the Pacific Ocean, home to over 40% of the world’s reefs—a mission unprecedented in scale.

Sarah worked as the onboard correspondent across six countries and 4,000 nautical miles. Her work included photography, video production, and written articles for Tara and media partners FT1 (French Television), NHK (Japanese Television), and Walt Disney France. She led creative direction, producing and capturing footage in collaboration with underwater cinematographers and aerial teams to document the expedition above and below the surface. Her route covered Wallis/Futuna, Tuvalu, Kiribati, Chuuk, Guam, and Orgasarwa.
