Tama No Te Tairoto

Founded in French Polynesia, 2021

Tama no te Tairoto (meaning “Children of the Lagoon”) is a Polynesian nonprofit association dedicated to the preservation and scientific monitoring of coral reefs, lagoons, and rivers in French Polynesia. Founded in 2021 by marine conservation enthusiasts, the organization engages both local communities and global volunteers through citizen‑science projects and educational initiatives.

Their activities include monitoring the mass spawning of Porites rus corals and offering school workshops to raise awareness of fragile coastal ecosystems. With a participatory and research‑oriented approach, the association aims to deepen our understanding of lagoon environments and inspire stewardship for future generations.
