TerraMar Project Global Citizenship Of the High Seas 'The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes." Marcel Proust TerraMar is registered as a 501(c)(3) Pro. • It of TerraMar Pro'ect — Not for Publication EFTA01111030 VISION - MISSION Vision: It is impossible to form an attachment or give an identity to something that is porous and undefined. The TerraMar Project will make the High Seas recognized as an autonomous, defined zone to which all of humanity has claim. The aim is for TerraMar to become as recognized, in all of its diversity and value, becoming deeply embedded in human consciousness, the same way as the Amazon Jungle and the Sahara desert. TerraMar will become known as the 'liquid continent', the 8th wonder of the world. Mission: TerraMar is a global initiative that plans to revolutionize the environmental awareness model by creating an agile, globally scalable infrastructure and education platform to mobilize millions of citizens in service of the most pressing issues facing the High Seas using Social media. TerraMar will be the largest Virtual Protectorate to which all are citizens and IN WHICH all have a vote through the first global democratic voting/polling platform - one man, one woman, one child, one vote. TerraMar will also create a 'Newspaper', The Daily Catch, to aggregate news on the High Seas, give headline billing to big Sea stories, and allow those working in the field a place to publish their stories, and a place for citizens to publish their photos and to report from the field.
