A little sauce on what the TerraMar Project was would have been nice. It was an environmentalist non-profit organization involved in protecting 🙄 the world's oceans. It shut down July 12 and it's web site and social media have all be deleted. Imagine that?

Thanks for the primer, lot available on wayback... tweet that spurned the dig

You didn't give any backstory which was a little irritating so I did a quick dig and ran immediately into before mention roadblocks of deletion and a sanitized Wikipedia page. Eyethespy is good at finding this stuff. From what little I've seen, there's probably gold buried there. From those name I'd wage quite a bit.

Oh there’s gold, their form 990 filings are a joke. And the “Junior Editor’s” ‘Daily Catch’ series of columns reeks of pedonuendo.
