About the company
Established in 2019, Tahiti Marine Products (TMP) is an aquaculture company specialized in the production of protected sea cucumber (holothurians) species, which play a critical role in the health of marine ecosystems. Its vision is to democratize access to the health benefits of marine life while regenerating ocean ecosystems, and it is doing so by empowering island communities with a sustainable & inclusive aquaculture model. A first in the world, TMP has developed an IP and an inclusive model for hatchery and growth of two species particularly known for their nutritive & medical properties. Additionally, the company conducts bioremediation experiments, including an integrated multitrophic aquaculture model which will allow farms cultivating other species (pearl, shrimp, fish) to reduce their environmental footprint.
