influencewatch | The Project’s mission was to raise awareness for ocean conservation
efforts. Maxwell spoke at a 2014 Council on Foreign Relations event
about the issue. [8] She also spoke at events at the United Nations in 2013 and 2014. [9][10] She also gave a TED Talk. [11][12]
These high-profile events dovetailed with Maxwell’s and the Project’s
high-profile partnerships. The Project’s effort to hold the United
Nations to sustainable promises made regarding the ocean were praised
and backed by the Clinton Global Initiative. [13][14]
Maxwell authored a 2015 op-ed for the Project’s newsletter, “The
Daily Catch,” which theorized the moment the oceans “failed” due to
environmental harm. [15]
Archives of The Daily Catch were live as of August 17, 2019. TerraMar
Project’s director of development Brian Yurasitis’ LinkedIn profile
shows that the Project had several projects as part of its mission. [16]
One project was the “How I sea” campaign, which collected stories from
environmentalists and others who took photos of the ocean around the
world. [17]
The #NoMoreButts initiative was the Project’s effort to create more
opportunities for smokers to dispose of cigarette butts in an
environmentally friendly fashion. [18]
Ghislaine Maxwell
Maxwell is the daughter of controversial British media magnate Robert
Maxwell, who was implicated in mishandling the pension fund of the Daily Mirror after his death in 1991. [19]
After Ghislaine Maxwell moved to New York following her father’s
death, she became widely known for her high-end social connections with
U.S. Presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, ex-boyfriend Jeffrey
Epstein, British royalty, and others. [20][21] She attended Chelsea Clinton’s wedding. [22]
Despite decades in the public eye, she became a very private person
in 2016. That year, she sold her $15 million home and largely
disappeared from the public. [23]
After Epstein’s death, Maxwell became a notable figure amid
allegations that she was involved in Epstein’s alleged sex-trafficking
scheme. A federal court ordered the release of 2,000 pages of documents
related to a 2015 lawsuit filed by one of Epstein’s accusers; the woman
alleged that Maxwell had solicited her to perform sex acts for Epstein
as a 16-year-old. Maxwell denied the allegations and has not been
criminally charged for these alleged acts as of early July 2020. [24]
Maxwell reportedly has settled lawsuits with two women who claimed she
was involved in Epstein’s exploitation without admitting guilt. [25][26]
Maxwell has been involved in many public projects and efforts. She
co-hosted a launch party for the publishing platform Ideapod in 2013. [27][28]
In July 2020, federal prosecutors secured an indictment of Maxwell on
charges related to conspiracy in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of
underage girls; she was arrested and faced trial as of early July.[29]
