Ghislaine Maxwell Attends United Nations Events for TerraMar Project
Ghislaine Maxwell attends United Nations-related events in connection with her TerraMar Project, a marine conservation organization she founded and directed. TerraMar gave Maxwell a legitimate nonprofit profile and United Nations access that contrasted sharply with her concurrent involvement in Epstein's criminal network. Maxwell spoke at events alongside UN officials and celebrities, using the ocean conservation platform to maintain public credibility.
People Involved
The TerraMar Project was Ghislaine Maxwell’s most sustained public-facing genuine (or quasi-genuine) professional activity during the years when she was simultaneously involved in Epstein’s networks.
What TerraMar Was
TerraMar described itself as an ocean conservation organization advocating for the protection of international waters. It launched officially around 2012 and maintained activity through approximately 2019, when it dissolved following Epstein’s July 2019 arrest.
The UN Connection
TerraMar secured non-governmental organization (NGO) status with United Nations accreditation, which allowed Maxwell to attend and speak at UN events focused on ocean conservation. She appeared at the UN multiple times in this capacity, was photographed with public figures, and gave speeches on ocean policy.
The Contrast
While Maxwell was operating TerraMar and attending UN conservation events, she was simultaneously listed as a co-conspirator in victim testimony and pursued by civil litigants in the Epstein case. The TerraMar activity provided her with a public identity that was the polar opposite of her alleged private activities.
Dissolution After Epstein’s Arrest
TerraMar dissolved within days of Epstein’s July 2019 arrest. The organization’s website went dark and its operations ceased, suggesting the organization’s continuity was dependent on Epstein-connected resources or structure.
