  • Log in

The Census of Marine Life was a global network of researchers in more than 80 nations engaged in a 10-year scientific initiative to assess and explain the diversity, distribution, and abundance of life in the oceans.  The world's first comprehensive census of the past, present, and future of life in the oceans was released in October 2010.

Page HMAP Atlas of Historical Fishing Grounds
HMAP is in the process of developing a global atlas of historical fishing grounds and synthesizing the work and data of all its research projects. This information will be used to develop global perspectives of how marine life and ecosystems in the oceans have changed over the long-term. The goals of the synthesis and mapping projects are to identify areas of historical human-environment interactions and assess the cumulative impact of fishing upon these areas or marine ecosystems.
