The TerraMar Project was a self-described environmental nonprofit organization. It was founded in 2012 in the United States by convicted sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell.[1][2] A sister organisation in the United Kingdom was incorporated in 2013.[3] TerraMar (U.S.) announced its closure on 12 July 2019. This was shortly after New York federal prosecutors arrested Maxwell's behind the scenes Boss Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein was a financier who was being charged with sex trafficking crimes for a second time.[4][5] TerraMar (UK) was officially dissolved on 3 December 2019.[3]
