The TerraMar Project, the ocean-focused nonprofit that Ghislaine Maxwell had operated for approximately 15 years, shut down abruptly in the week of Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest in July 2019. The website was taken down, operations ceased, and the organization was formally dissolved.
The timing of TerraMar’s dissolutionimmediately after Epstein’s arrestdrew immediate attention. The organization had provided Maxwell with a legitimate public identity and access to UN and international platforms over many years. Its sudden closure raised questions about whether Maxwell anticipated the implications of Epstein’s arrest.
Maxwell was herself arrested in July 2020 at a compound in Bradford, New Hampshire.
