The TerraMar Project was an ocean-conservation not-for-profit founded and run by Ghislaine Maxwell. Its own undated presentation, marked “Property of TerraMar Project - Not for Publication”, describes a plan to make the high seas a “Virtual Protectorate” whose supporters sign up as citizens, and states that TerraMar is registered as a 501(c)(3).15 Sworn testimony Maxwell gave in April 2019 in an unrelated New York personal-injury case records that she was its president, that it had no employees, that neither she nor any other officer was ever paid, and that its registered address was her own house, used as “an address of convenience”.42678

Jeffrey Epstein’s connection to the organisation is documented in several ways in the released files. Maxwell sent him the project’s fundraising presentation before its launch.12 He introduced her by email to at least one senior official in the field.13 On 1 December 2012 he instructed his accountant Richard Kahn to send the residue of an entity’s funds to “ghislaine charity”, and Kahn replied “Confirming sending 32k to GM charity”; Maxwell thanked Epstein within half an hour, on an email carrying TerraMar’s own signature block.1415 And from at least July 2012 onward that signature block sits at the foot of several thousand pages of short personal messages between the two of them.1617

A report prepared for Maxwell’s defence lawyers by chartered accountants, produced as an exhibit in support of her renewed bail application in December 2020 and covering the years 2015 to 2020, states that she contributed US$560,650 to TerraMar’s running costs and about $10,000 to TerraMar UK; that one donation of US$57,000 from Epstein Interests Foundation, which the report says falls outside that period, was recorded in the financial year ending 21 January 2013; that “All funds received by Terramar Project Inc were disbursed for the charitable purposes of Terramar Project Inc”; and that “No personal, financial benefit was obtained by Ghislaine Maxwell.”183

What it said it was

The presentation held in the release opens with the line “TerraMar is registered as a 501(c)(3)” and a Proust epigraph, and is stamped “Property of TerraMar Project - Not for Publication”.1 Its vision slide states the aim that TerraMar “will become known as the ‘liquid continent’, the 8th wonder of the world”, and its mission slide describes “an agile, globally scalable infrastructure and education platform to mobilize millions of citizens”, “the largest Virtual Protectorate to which all are citizens”, a global voting platform, and a news aggregator called The Daily Catch.5

On 14 May 2012 Maxwell sent Epstein an email with no subject line and an attachment named MASTER DECK_KG.pdf: “Latest deck + letter I am sending out to peeps who might help.. The TerraMar Project has advanced even more since we last communicated and we are close to launching. I am attaching the latest PP of the project.” The message goes on to explain that she “zeroed in on International Waters” after a group of non-governmental organisations asked for her help, that the area “represents 45% of our planet or 61% of our oceans and it is a mess of competing and conflicting laws and, in certain cases, no laws at all”, and that “Where there is a great mess there tends to be great opportunity.”12 The copy of the presentation held in the release is undated and the documents cited here do not establish that it is the file attached to that message.

A funding slide lists the sources it hoped to draw on: passports for citizens, sponsorship of grid squares of the ocean map, sale of flags to vessels, sponsorship by “key strategic partners and commercial interests”, ambassadorships for marine species, sale of a national anthem through iTunes, donations “through the voluntary tax system”, merchandise, support from other foundations, and “Government and World Bank support”.19

An engagement slide sets out its intentions towards the United Nations: that TerraMar “would like to partner with the U.N.”, that it “is aligned with 24 NGOs and the High Seas Alliance and IUCN which has a seat at the U.N as observer status”, and that “As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit NGO, we will apply for ECOSOC Consultative Status with the U.N.”20 A further slide proposes enlisting a former head of state as TerraMar’s president, a council of fifteen scientists, lawyers and oceanographers, and “193 Cabinet ministers - 1 for each country”.21 Those are statements of intention in a fundraising document. The documents cited here do not record whether any of them was carried out.

Two later slides list a “Preliminary Council” of fourteen people and a further list of advisers, and a team slide gives two people, the founder and a director of development.2223 Because the list is headed preliminary and the document is marked not for publication, no name is taken from either slide here.

The United Nations

A letter of 8 June 2013, on the letterhead of the Ambassador Permanent Representative of the Republic of Palau to the United Nations and closing over Maxwell’s typed name, invites its recipient to a meeting “on 20 June 2013 from 4pm to 5:30pm at the United Nations Conference Building, Room D”. It names the conveners as “Amir Dossal of the Global Partnership Forum, Ghislaine Maxwell of the TerraMar Project, and Stuart Beck, Ambassador Permanent Representative of the Repblic of Palau to the United Nations along with the Ambassadors of Australia and Barbados to the United Nations”, and its subject as how to incorporate “healthy, resilient, and productive oceans into the Sustainable Development Goals”.24 The spelling of Republic is the letter’s own. It is an invitation, and the documents cited here do not record who attended or what was decided.

On 10 July 2014 Maxwell sent her financial adviser at UBS “some information and links to various speaking engagements and articles on TMP”, listing three links under the headings TED, UN and National Geographic, together with a biography she supplied describing TerraMar as “a web-based non-profit organized to protect the ocean commons by empowering a global community of ocean citizens” which “collaborates with stakeholders to make the oceans part of the 2015 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals”.25 That is her own description of the organisation. A London newspaper reported in January 2015 that she had made a series of speeches “last year” promoting the charity, at which she urged audiences to become supporters.26

Formation, governance and staff

Maxwell gave evidence about the organisation on 9 April 2019, three months before Epstein’s arrest, at an examination before trial in a sidewalk personal-injury action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York.27 Asked to describe it, she said “It’s a not-for-profit based on the ocean”, and dated its formation to “2011 or 2012”.4 Asked whether it was a New York corporation she answered “I don’t remember where it was filed.”2 She confirmed she was its president.2

Shown TerraMar’s 2012 tax return, she agreed her signature appeared on it and that she had recorded herself as working sixty hours a week on the project. Asked whether other officers had worked for it, she named a person whose name is blacked out in this copy; of two others listed on the return she said one was the director, recorded at one hour a week, who “gave advise as to how to best practices for charity”, and the other “again gave advise as to how far Terramar could realize its goals”.2829 Asked whether there were other employees not listed, she answered “The Terramar Project didn’t have any employees”.29 Of the officers and directors she said none “were renumerated. Nobody was paid”, and distinguished contractors from employees: “Terramar Project did have work called contract contractors who did do work for it”, who “were always offsite, because they would never come to work”. She named one, a director of development, for 2015.6 Asked directly whether she had ever taken a salary as president, or any remuneration of any kind, she answered no to both.7

She testified that the same firm of accountants prepared and filed both her personal returns and TerraMar’s, and that she signed all of them herself.30 Asked whether the principal place of business given on the returns was her own house, she said it was “just an address of convenience”, used to receive mail and to have an address for the tax return, and that TerraMar never held an event there to which the general public was invited.6318

In an interview with the Department of Justice on 24 July 2025, Maxwell gave her own account of the origin.32 She said the idea came “I think in 2010”, out of ocean exploration work she had done with a former partner, and that when they separated “he took all the part of the ocean that was close to land, so within 200 miles. And so I decided I would focus on all the part of the ocean that was outside of national borders, TerraMar.”33 Of its end she said: “And then I ran it all the way up until whenever the Epstein drama struck and then I just shut it down. Not - I shut it down because I didn’t want what was happening to hurt any - the Smithsonian or Nat Geo or the - I just couldn’t let everything be hurt by what was happening to me.”34

Epstein’s connections and money

Several of the emails quoted in this section carry transmission damage in the printed page itself, where an equals sign stands in place of a lost character. A character supplied to restore such a word is shown in square brackets.

The introduction to Sweden’s ocean ambassador

On 22 November 2012 Epstein wrote to Maxwell introducing her to Lisa Emelia Svensson, describing her as ambassador to oceans from Sweden and noting that she had held many positions in the embassy.13 Two days later Maxwell wrote to Svensson, copying Epstein: “Jeffrey suggested I reach out to you. I have launched the TerraMa[r] project”, with a link to the website and to press coverage of the launch, and “I would love to talk to you about the initiative.”13 Her message carries the TerraMar signature block. On 1 December Maxwell told Epstein “I spoke to Lisa from Sweden. We will work together!”14

The December 2012 instruction

On 1 December 2012 Epstein asked Kahn by email “did we have any left in epstien interests. ?”, using his own spelling. Kahn answered that about $32,000 would be left after two other payments, of $50,000 and $25,000, and Epstein replied “ok,, send to ghislaine charity”.14 The cited copy of that reply carries no blind-copy line and prints no time zone on its header; a sibling copy shows it was sent at 18:38:56 UTC and copied Maxwell blind.35 About a minute later Kahn wrote back, asking “Should I ask dana for that i[n]fo” and confirming “sending 32k to GM charity”.15 Maxwell answered Epstein twenty-two minutes after his instruction; her message opens “That is amazing”, thanks him at length, and goes on: “That will make a huge difference. I will. Start phase 3 because of your generosity. I was hesitating but not anymore.” That message carries TerraMar’s full signature block.14 Twenty-two minutes after Kahn asked whether to get the account details, in a message on the sibling copy only, Maxwell wrote: “Rich I will have Dana reach out to you and give you the bank account information.” That message also carries the full block.35

What these messages record is an instruction and a confirmation that the instruction was being acted on, not a record of a completed transfer: Kahn’s confirmation itself asks, in the same message, whether to go and get the account details, and Maxwell supplied them twenty-two minutes later. The documents cited here do not carry a bank record of a payment in that amount. 1 December 2012 also falls inside the financial year ending 21 January 2013 to which the defence accountants’ report attributes a separate $57,000 donation; the report does not itemise its donations, so the two figures are not joined here. That report, which covers 2015 to 2020, states that one donation of US$57,000 from Epstein Interests Foundation was recorded as a donation to TerraMar for the financial year ending 21 January 2013.183 The two documents describe different things, an instruction in December 2012 and an annual accounting figure, and are reported here as each states it.

The signature block

A full-text search of the released files for TerraMar, terra mar and theterramarproject returns several thousand pages spread across more than a thousand separate runs. Most are the organisation’s signature block at the foot of short personal messages between Maxwell and Epstein, on subjects with no connection to the ocean. The earliest instance of the block found in that search is on a message of 26 July 2012 that reads in full “In St Trop - having a lovely time. Going back to London tomorrow Where are you”, and runs “Become a citizen NOW of TerraMar and help make it the worlds largest protectorate of the High Seas” above links to the webpage, Facebook and Twitter.17 By 2015 the block had become a row of eight hyperlinked items: THE TERRAMAR PROJECT, FACEBOOK, TWITTER, G+, PINTEREST, INSTAGRAM, PLEDGE, THE DAILY CATCH.36

It rides on correspondence of every kind. On 9 January 2015, forwarding advice from her solicitor that she should answer the allegations then being reported about her, Maxwell wrote to Epstein “I am going o have to make a statement - I will send it to you - I don’t have a choice”, under the full block.36 A search count is a floor rather than a measure, because the machine-read text misses pages whose names it cannot read, and the figure above is not offered as a listing of what exists.16

Money

Accounts

TerraMar banked at JPMorgan Chase and then at UBS. On 18 February 2014 a letter to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. over Maxwell’s typed name, referring to a TerraMar Project, Inc. account whose number is blacked out, asked the bank to wire the entire account balance to UBS Financial Services Inc. for final credit to TerraMar Project, Inc.9 A JPMorgan Chase client-review record for Maxwell personally states “CLIENT EXITED THE BANK ON REQUEST OF RISK COMMITTEE AND THE LAST ACCOUNTS CLOSED JUNE 8, 2014”, and describes her as someone who “does not work, but volunteers for a charitable organization she founded, The TerraMar Project”.10 The defence accountants’ report lists JPMorgan among the banks holding accounts in the names of Maxwell, her spouse, and family trusts and companies, and gives April 2014 for their closure.37 A JPMorgan client-service email of 3 April 2014, on the same run as TerraMar’s own wire letter, records a debit that day of $63.61 from the TerraMar account, value-dated 2 April 2014: the TerraMar account itself was emptied at the start of April 2014, consistent with the report’s date, while Maxwell’s own last personal accounts closed two months later, in June.38

The UBS Business Services Account statements produced run from February 2014 into 2020, and the sums are small. Each statement carries a chart of the account’s value at successive year ends, and the printed figures beside it give $17,018.32 at year end 2016 and $266.02 at year end 2017.3940 The June 2020 statement’s change-in-value page shows the account opened that year at $0.00 and closed June at $26.43.41 Month by month, the account stood at $7,731.21 on 31 July 2017 and $4,141.91 a month later, at $1,585.25 on 31 January 2018 and at $10,250.71 on 31 December 2018.394042

Receipts and payments

Two productions of cheque images sit in the release. They mix TerraMar’s own cheques with items paid into its account. A cheque of 13 April 2015 for $1,075.00 drawn by Sea Research Foundation, doing business as Mystic Aquarium, is payable to TerraMar Project, Inc., with TerraMar’s UBS account number written on it by hand for deposit.43 Small cheques from the donation processor Network for Good were paid in through 2015: $24.00 in July and $43.00 in October.44 Going the other way, TerraMar’s cheque no. 1048 of 17 June 2014 for $5,000.00 is payable to an individual, with a memo line listing three invoice periods.45

Closure, 2019

By 13 July 2019, a week after Epstein was arrested on 6 July 2019,46 TerraMar’s website carried an announcement in place of its ordinary front page: “The TerraMar Project is sad to announce that it will cease all operations. The web site will be closed.” It thanked “all its supporters, partners and fellow ocean lovers” and was signed “The TerraMar Team”.11 The Internet Archive’s last capture of the site’s ordinary front page is 23 April 2019 and its first capture of the announcement is 13 July 2019; the announcement page was unchanged in every capture through 31 August 2019.11 The announcement gives no reason for the closure.

The bank account outlived the announcement. On or about 17 July 2019, four days after the notice went up, Maxwell wrote to her UBS client service team: “Morning. I will also be sending funds from TerraMar UK to TerraMar US / Can you please send me wiring instructions for that transfer. Thank you.”47 On 19 August 2019, five weeks after the closure notice went up, the August statement records a deposit of $6,223.68 described as a federal funds deposit by TerraMar UK, alongside a $12.00 deposit from Network for Good, closing the month at $6,421.81.48 Donations of $15 to $24 were still arriving at the end of September.49

The account was then run down: $4,615.65 at the end of October 2019, a withdrawal of $2,118.07 in November, and a withdrawal of $2,505.74 in December that left it at zero on 31 December 2019.505152 Small deposits resumed in 2020, and the account stood at $10.00 at the end of January, $17.78 at the end of February, $18.78 at the end of March and April, and $26.43 at the end of May and June 2020.53545556 A draft schedule of Maxwell-related accounts gives $26.43 for TerraMar Project, Inc. as at 30 June 2020.57

A letter of 1 December 2020 to Judge Alison J. Nathan, filed as an exhibit to Maxwell’s renewed bail application, is written by a correspondent who states that Maxwell asked them to be a director of the UK charity. On the finances the letter says Maxwell “is transparent in everything she does including in her financial dealings that I personally witnessed as a Trustee of TerraMar which, following unwarranted press speculation last year, was investigated by the Charity Commission. No wrongdoing was found whatsoever but the Charity was subsequently dissolved as the connection with Ghislaine allied to relentless media pressure made it an untenable enterprise.”58 That is the correspondent’s account. No record of any Charity Commission inquiry is among the documents cited here. A search of gov.uk’s published Charity Commission material for “terramar” returns no inquiry report, regulatory alert or case report naming it; the Commission does not publish most regulatory-compliance engagements, so that absence is not evidence the letter is wrong.

The name on the telephone

Maxwell was arrested on 2 July 2020, as a ruling in the related civil litigation records.59 On 29 June 2020 the United States applied in the Southern District of New York, under docket 20 Mag. 6770, for warrants and orders for cellphone location and pen register information on two telephones.60 An FBI agent affidavit in support records that “Target Cellphone-1 is subscribed in the name of ‘Terramar Project, Inc.’”, that Maxwell “has given multiple public addresses in her capacity as the founder and president of an organization known as the TerraMar Project”, and that when the FBI searched the iPhone seized from Epstein at his arrest, the number associated with that telephone was saved as a contact under the name “Ghislaine”.46 The court’s order records the same subscriber name; the number itself is redacted throughout.61

In a filing in support of her renewed bail application, Maxwell’s lawyers wrote that the government had argued at the bail hearing that the events of her arrest, including a cellphone found wrapped in tin foil, evidenced “an attempt to evade law enforcement.”62 They answered that “the cellphone in question was subscribed in the name of ‘Terramar Project, Inc.,’ which is easily identifiable through a simple Google search as Ms. Maxwell’s charity”, that she used it to make calls as late as May 2020, and that her primary telephone was a different one, subscribed in the name “G Max”, which was not wrapped.63

TerraMar’s own records were produced to the defence in the criminal case. A government discovery letter lists, among the material produced, “UBS records for Angara Trust, Montepelier Trust, Terramar Project, Inc., Max Foundation, Ghislaine Maxwell, Ghislaine Maxwell IRA, & Ellmax, LLC”.64

What the documents cited here do not establish

The search described above, run under TerraMar, terra mar and theterramarproject, returns a floor rather than a count of the release, because the machine-read text misses pages whose names it cannot read. Nothing among the documents cited here connects the organisation to the conduct charged in United States v. Maxwell, records the outcome of any regulatory inquiry into it in either country, gives the date or manner of its dissolution as a corporation, states what became of the balance withdrawn in November and December 2019, or shows a bank record of a payment answering the December 2012 instruction. Epstein is dead and no response from him to anything reported here exists.
