History of marine animal populations: a global research program of the Census of marine life

This paper examines the relationship between history and science with regard to the marine environment. It argues that historians and scientists should collaborate to reconstruct past ecosystems. Such collaboration to shed some light on the reasons why the life in the oceans appears as it does today...

With this objective in view, a global research program has been established. The History of marine animal populations (HMAP) addresses four basic questions.
