1. Context

The History of Marine Animals Populations (HMAP) project is a ten-year project which will

establish historical baselines for the Census of Marine Life status of marine ecosystems by 2010.

Understanding what used to live in the ocean is critical to an assessment of current health and

analyzing the dynamics of the past will improve our ability to assess the future. This proposal

aims to maximize public dissemination and secure the legacies of the HMAP project in the final

phase of the Census program. We will do this by focusing on major new initiatives such as

regional policy briefings and web products while ensuring the publication of research syntheses.

The HMAP project has evolved since 2000 as a pioneering effort to establish the

magnitude of changes in ecosystems since the beginning of commercial fisheries. Our ongoing

ecological and historical synthesis work offers insight into the changes in human and natural

systems over historical time. It also reveals what we do not yet know and, in some cases, cannot

know about these changes.

The overarching aim of the HMAP project is to improve knowledge and understanding of

long-term interaction of humankind with the marine environment. Attaining this goal will yield

information on changes in stock abundance, the ecological impact of large-scale human

harvesting, and the role of marine resource utilization in the development of human societies.

Such evidence, in turn, will broaden and deepen knowledge of the contemporary condition of the

marine environment and provide the time series and ecological insight required to assess the

future sustainability of marine animal populations.

Forming the historical component of the Census of Marine Life program (CoML), HMAP is

conceived as a ten-year project to be executed in five phases:

HMAP I, 2000: scoping the project; assembling the team; designing the research program

4

HMAP II, 2001-2002: establishing the institutional core; founding a new disciplinary

approach; launching pilot research projects;

HMAP III, 2003-2007: consolidating the institutional core; building the sub-disciplines of

marine environmental history and historical marine ecology; developing the research effort;

connecting with the scientific and historical community and the general public;

HMAP IV, 2007-2009: synthesizing the research findings on declines and recoveries using

population and ecological modeling of the data generated;

HMAP V, 2009-2010: disseminating the results; ensuring the legacies of HMAP.

At a workshop in February 2000, HMAP identified a preliminary set of hypotheses, which

were subsequently revised in 2004 (http://hmapcoml.org/documents/Hypotheses.pdf). We have

derived four basic questions from the hypotheses:

• How have the diversity, distribution, and abundance of marine animal populations altered

over the last 2,000 years?

• Which factors have forced or influenced changes in the diversity, distribution, and

abundance of marine animal populations?

• What has been the anthropogenic and biological significance of changes in marine animal

populations?

• By what processes have marine ecosystems interacted with human societies?

HMAP has undertaken research in 11 regional case studies, 2 global species studies and in a

small number of cross-cutting studies integrating with the NaGISA field project. We cover

mainly continental shelf and near-shore regions of all oceans while the whaling project extends

into the deep seas.

Building on the firm foundations laid in phases I through IV, HMAP V will present a

global historical perspective on changes in marine life as a result of human interaction and

5

climate in the centennial to millennial perspective. We shall ensure that the legacies of HMAP

find institutional homes and that the new discipline of marine environmental history will be well

positioned to thrive in the years to come.

Specifically, we shall provide a strong historical backdrop to the 2010 CoML reports on

the global state of life in the oceans. We will publish a general history of the environmental

history of marine animal populations, an image gallery for the history of the oceans, a series of

maps of historical exploitations and impacts, and synthetic papers on historical declines and

recoveries. Regional HMAP projects will disseminate results through policy briefings and

regional outreach. The website will be developed to cater for the high degree of public interest

likely to be generated through 2010 and a permanent home for an Oceans Past website will be

established. The preservation of data will be ensured through the creation of a World Repository

for Marine Environmental History Data.

2. Notable accomplishments to date

While the history of marine animal populations has long been one of the great unknowns, recent

advances in scientific and historical methodology have enabled the HMAP team to expand the

realm of the known and the knowable. We now know that the distribution and abundance of

marine animal populations change dramatically over time. Changes are attributed to climatic and

human forces, and while few marine species have gone extinct, there is concern that entire

marine ecosystems have been depleted beyond recovery. An understanding of historical patterns

of resource exploitation is a key to identifying what has actually been lost in the habitat and is an

essential part of developing and implementing recovery plans for depleted marine ecosystems

and ecosystem attributes. The HMAP approach offers a means to obtain a broader theoretical and

6

analytical perspective on marine ecosystems to inform present and future environmental

management policies. This is the HMAP legacy to future marine science.

HMAP has developed this broader perspective by fostering the collaboration of ecologists,

marine biologists, historians, archaeologists, and oceanographers. Such an innovative strategy

has led to the emergence of marine environmental history/historical marine ecology. It involves

the collection of historical evidence from a vast range of archival sources. Marine environmental

history is now recognized as a new discipline and as a major new contribution to the field of

environmental history (1-5). At the first World Congress of Environmental History in

Copenhagen in August 2009 the chair of HMAP is invited to give a keynote lecture in

recognition of this accomplishment.

The HMAP project has sponsored and pioneered a range of new methods such as the

integration of paleological with historical studies (Francis 2001), statistical modeling techniques

have been applied to evidence derived from virgin source materials (Rosenberg 2006),

integrative archaeological and historical studies have vastly increased our level of knowledge of

the impact of early human exploitation (Barrett 2007; Poulsen 2008) and HMAP has provided

inspiration to glean important information from surprising and sometimes unlikely sources such

as restaurant menus (Jones 2008) and snapshots of sports fishermen’s catches (McClenachan

2009). A total of 205 books and papers have been published (see Appendix 2) and the HMAP

database (www.hull.ac.uk/hmap) currently holds approximately 350,000 records, with some 80%

available through OBIS. By 2010, it is anticipated that up to 1,000,000 records will be available

on the HMAP website.

The HMAP approach is firmly embedded in the teaching and research effort of several

universities around the globe: Roskilde University and the Technical University, Denmark,

University of Hull and Cambridge University, UK, University of New Hampshire and University

7

of Connecticut, USA, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, Murdock University, Australia, Simon

Bolivar University, Caracas, Venezuela, Haifa University, Israel, and the European University of

St Petersburg, Russia. More than 20 graduate students have been trained in HMAP summer

schools and MA/PhD programs and 3 new full professorial positions have been created.

The HMAP approach has been adopted by several environmental science projects and has

received governmental and intergovernmental recognition. For example, in 2008 the New

Zealand Fisheries Department recognized the HMAP approach as a valid and cost-effective

approach to assessing ecosystem change, and the International Council for the Exploration of the

Seas (ICES) established a working group to report to its general assembly in 2010 on the

importance of historical records.

3. The Project

HMAP V will focus on impacts and legacies:

- impact on decision makers

- impact on the general public

- legacies for science

-

3.1. Impact on decision makers

The HMAP approach offers a means to obtain a temporal theoretical and analytical perspective

on marine ecosystems to inform present and future environmental management policies.

Potential users of HMAP results will include the scientific community, conservation

organizations, and national, international and inter-governmental fisheries and ecosystem

management agencies. These agencies include US-NOAA, Canada DFO, the European

8

Commission, the Helsinki Commission for the Protection of the Baltic Marine Environment

(Helcom), the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), the International

Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), the Mediterranean Science

Commission (CIESM), the International Whaling Commission, and UN-FAO.

Organizations such as these require documentation of past human impacts on marine

resources and ecosystems in order to develop baselines and conservation/recovery policies

consistent with national legislation and major international fisheries and biodiversity agreements

such as the FAO Agreement on the Precautionary Approach to Fisheries and the Rio and

Johannesburg Declarations. We will actively seek opportunities to bring our results to bear on

current policy-making and management efforts. Examples of where and how HMAP data and

findings are being used are given in Appendix 4.

Impact on decision makers depends on strong science, effective supporting visualization

and dialogue. Through HMAP V we will therefore be actively disseminating our scientific

results in scientific fora (peer-reviewed literature, conferences). The scientific work will largely

have been funded in HMAP IV and we shall therefore focus on maximizing impact of these

studies as they are published in the lead up to the completion of the project in 2010. For HMAP

V we are requesting support for work on visualization and a series of regional policy briefings.

3.1.1. Visualizing Ocean’s Past

The HMAP field projects will be engaged with the synthesis team in developing global maps of

fishing grounds and fishing effort. The survey instruments and mapping interface developed by

Dr. Stefan Claesson will serve as a primary mechanism for integration. In addition, the interface

will enable historical research from regions that have not yet been engaged in HMAP to join in

the synthesis of fishing impacts globally. A description of the mapping effort is available at

9

https://comlmaps.org/work/hmap/hmap-atlas-of-historical-fishing-grounds. The funding will

finance the salary of Dr. Claesson for 9 months and some travel money to enable him to work

with regional teams. The HMAP visualization work will be fully integrated with the work of the

Census Mapping & Visualization team. Dr. Claesson participated in the workshop at Duke last

year and his work has substantially benefited from the interaction.

Additionally, the World Whaling HMAP project will create a series of large-format

world maps, in color, showing the spatial distribution of whale ships and whales during the 19th

century. These charts will provide a simple, high-impact graphical representation of the spatial

and temporal extent of whaling in the 19th century. They will make one of the central messages

of our work readily accessible and comprehensible to the general public and, relative to policy

and management interests, will facilitate comparisons between past and current whale

distribution patterns. This will allow resource managers to identify areas where populations have

and have not recovered to their pre-whaling distribution, and to identify formerly occupied areas

where whales are now essentially absent. Where recovery has been less than complete, human

activities may need to be better managed to allow further recovery. A major emphasis will be to

promote the perspective that spatial distribution should become a more important element in

assessing population recovery, in addition to the more usual measure based on current population

size as a fraction of historical, or pre-whaling, population size. The maps will significantly

improve on previously published charts by showing the daily positions of whaling vessels when

they were searching but did not catch whales, as well as when they did. The data available

include 70,000 whale encounters from some 450,000 days at sea. Daily positions will be overlain

on base maps showing ocean depth and land areas.

All charts and visualizations will be prepared with sufficient resolution to allow

electronic magnification of specific regions for close examination, while at the same time

10

allowing printing on a range of sizes of flatbed printers. Importantly, our charts will be

accompanied by complete documentation of data sources and data will be publicly available.

3.1.2. Policy Briefings

A number of regional briefings to policy makers and senior management will inform of the

findings and implications of HMAP research. The different HMAP projects have some separate

and some common audiences. National agencies will be most interested in the results of local

projects and in many cases specific results relevant to their policy or management mandate.

Other agencies with broader mandates will be interested in a more synoptic overview. For this

reason it is important that the major findings and policy implications of each project are

highlighted, as well as themes common across the regions and globally.

Preparation of documents that undertake this summary and synoptic overview is critical

as we need to provide policy makers with the implications of our results in a form that can be

readily uplifted and inserted into policy documents thereby minimizing the amount of

reinterpretation of our results. An opportunity to discuss and debate our results and their policy

implications with managers, policy makers and other stakeholders is also a critical part of the

outreach process. A general statement about HMAP explaining the project and its discoveries

will be prepared as a backdrop for regional briefings. The specific plans for regional briefings for

New Zealand, Australia, Russia, the Baltic and the Mediterranean are given in Appendix 7.

3.2. Impact on the general public

In phase V, communication and outreach come to the forefront of HMAP. We aim to reach out

in a tangible and visual language through the use of appealing web content such as films and

11

animations, image galleries and compelling story lines, in addition to books for the general

public.

3.2.1. Visuals

We shall build on the success of the new, redesigned website and its innovative content and

maximize its appeal by adding much more content. In addition to the seven videos produced in

phase IV two additional videos will be produced. A new and attractive GallerOceans - the

HMAP image gallery – will be introduced. Synthesis products will be assembled into a cohesive

entirety on the website, featuring all of the HMAP sub-projects, bibliography, books, news,

Oceans Past II, and much more. All this will enhance the HMAP presence on the World Wide

Web. During phase IV, two news releases generated good responses from the press, and the

newly developed newsletter has strengthened internal communications and project awareness.

The permanent home for the HMAP website after 2010 will be a Trusted Digital Repository,

probably the one currently being set up by the Royal Irish Academy, which will ensure that the

many different kinds of information that have been generated through the last decade will be

accessible for generations to come.

To increase the outreach potential of sub-projects, an efficient and coherent media

approach will be implemented. A general article about HMAP explaining the project and its

discoveries will form the basis of media approach locally and regionally. Press releases will be

distributed highlighting results from the case studies. Target group: Fisheries managers,

stakeholders and regional decision makers.

To ensure a strong internal communication within HMAP, the newsletter will continue to

be published four times a year. Target group: the scientific community. The success of CoML as

12

a whole is very important to HMAP, and the requests from the E&O team will have the highest

priority to ensure the best outreach potential as possible.

A DVD package will be produced and 500 copies freely distributed at the CoML event in

London 2010. The DVD will contain: 1. an introductory article about HMAP; 2. all videos

produced by HMAP; 3. a sample from GallerOceans; 4. maps and other products from the

synthesis team. Target group: Participants in the CoML event in London, fisheries managers and

interested researchers.

The EC employs a Public Outreach Officer (Kira Paulli Pravato) full-time for 10 months

from March 2010. Kira has a strong background in TV production, writing, web design and

administration, and photography and has been with HMAP from 2007.

GallerOceans - HMAP image gallery: HMAP will prepare a gallery of historical images

to extend public understanding of the changing oceans. A virtual gallery of marine images is

capable of reaching a much wider audience than a physical exhibition of similar artworks. The

educational and public outreach potential is great for serving information dissemination and the

media. Especially students and teachers are expected to gain from this resource

The gallery, in which historic images of marine biodiversity and human exploitation of

marine resources underpin the HMAP case stories, aims for time depth and global coverage.

The images already collected by the case studies form an excellent basis for the image gallery

and integration with the HMAP synthesis, projects, database and website will be crucial. The

gallery will provide a strong basis for further research and outreach products.

The gallery will be a database organized in three dimensions: a temporal, a spatial and a

thematic. Four themes are envisioned: Biodiversity (species and size), Technology (vessels and

boats, gear, processing), Markets (markets, products, meals) and Culture (religious (sacred

13

species and places), ornamentals). This allows users to access the gallery with different

approaches maximizing the benefit of the gallery and supporting the HMAP messages.

Building the image gallery is a two step process. The first phase sets strict standards to

maintain the quality of each entry, including significance of source, documentation and

metadata. Realistic goals concerning organization and growth would have to be implemented

from the start as well as maintenance beyond 2010. The initial work requests dedicated

assistance obtained through collaboration with knowledgeable experts and institutions. By

building on local images related to and primarily collected in the HMAP case studies expensive

and complicated copyright issues are prevented in the first phase. In the second phase the gallery

will be expanded by collections of historical images and artwork illustrating, deepening and

expanding the HMAP case studies. GallerOceans will attract selected and pertinent images from

collections and museums around the world to ensure a high-quality resource which will be

attractive to academics from many disciplines, teachers and media.

The requested funding is split into four main items. Firstly, development and

management of the image gallery will be in the hands of the HMAP project coordinator, and

funding is requested for travel for image collection / archiving, meetings with potential partners

and collaboration with the HMAP synthesis and outreach. Secondly, development of the

infrastructure of the database and metadata standards as well as integrating existing images will

be undertaken by a research assistant partly funded by HMAP. Thirdly, seed money is requested

to assist the HMAP projects to collect additional images, metadata or pay smaller copyright fees.

Fourthly, a sum is reserved for equipment, professional assistance and potential higher costs for

copyright for key illustrations.

14

The proposal outlines ambitious goals for the image gallery, outreach, supporting the

grand messages of HMAP and at the same time sets a realistic priority for implementation by the

end of 2010.

3.2.2. Publications

Two books for the general public are in preparation for publication by the end of 2010. One titled

‘Ocean Yields. A history of Marine Animal Harvests’ will be a general overview by Poul Holm

and David J Starkey with a particular focus on extractions, impacts on ecosystems and impacts

on human societies. Research assistance to collect statistics for the book in addition to data

collected by the projects was previously funded by the A.P. Sloan Foundation.

The whaling charts will complement a book describing the historical distribution of

populations of sperm, right, humpback and gray whales from the point of view of 19th century

whalers. Many populations of these species were depleted by the 19th century whalers, and while

some populations are increasing in abundance, albeit slowly, vast areas of the ocean that the

whalers experience as full of whales no longer are. Tim Smith and Randall Reeves will identify

the historical distribution of whales in comparison to 21st century distribution.

In addition, the mapping project directed by Dr Claesson will serve as an important

communication tool to a wider audience especially through Google Ocean and National

Geographic. A primary scholarly publication will also result from the mapping effort along with

the online material that will be a legacy product of HMAP.

3.3. Legacies for science

The legacies of HMAP for the scientific community may largely be described as data

management on the one hand, scientific publications and community building on the other.

15

3.3.1 Data management

The HMAP Data Pages (www.hull.ac.uk/hmap) are managed by Michaela Barnard and John

Nicholls at the University of Hull, UK. Approximately 350,000 records, all derived from

historical source materials, are currently archived in the HMAP Data Store, with some 80% of

this material available through OBIS. This substantial stock of data will be developed to

reach 550,000 records by the end of 2009, and 1,000,000 records by December 2010. The spatial

and temporal coverage of these data will expand in line with this development in size. The

University of Hull is committed to maintaining and enhancing this data facility beyond 2010,

ensuring that the Data Pages will constitute one of HMAP’s key legacies.

HMAP data management entails the acquisition, dissemination and digital preservation of

datasets generated by researchers working within and without the project’s case studies. To

facilitate the submission process, online and/or hard copy guides are available to assist data

providers in the construction of their datasets. These materials are updated and expanded

regularly, with the next major revision scheduled to take place in September 2009. As the

submitted materials, comprising actual data files and explanatory metadata, are largely derived

from historical sources, they are edited to enhance their clarity and validity as evidence.

The datasets are developed and maintained according to internationally recognized

standards and protocols (SSADM/Open Systems). HMAP data are disseminated to scientists and

the general public through a web portal that enables users to search across disparate datasets

according to their own criteria. Results of these searches can be downloaded, while complete

and/or partial dataset downloads are also available in multiple industry standard formats.

Interoperability with OBIS and compliance with Darwin Core – which ensures that GIS standard

useable data can be derived from all HMAP datasets – further enhances dissemination. Visual

16

projections of the data via standard Google maps and Google Earth/Oceans will be integrated

into the HMAP Data Pages during 2009.

A key objective of HMAP data management is to avoid software and hardware

obsolescence through practical maintenance and the implementation of migration strategies. This

preservation effort entails the maintenance of localized electronic file storage on a RAID Server

and on DVD media. Remote storage is guaranteed through the employment of enterprise level

multiple blade servers that ensure full failure redundancy; data are backed up incrementally

daily, with complete locality back-ups weekly, and system back-ups on a fortnightly basis. In the

unlikely event of data corruption or integrity failure, restorative daily rollbacks are maintained

for a full year, with fortnightly complete system rollbacks accessible for up to four years. Future

maintenance and viability of the stored data according to these guidelines will be undertaken

indefinitely, or for the viable life of the data itself.

The Database Management System (currently Open Systems employing open source

MySQL technology) incorporates a ‘future proofing’ migration strategy. Data are updated to

conform to current dissemination standards, including the latest widely available file formats,

and are concurrently stored in multiple formats to ensure a wide spectrum of user accessibility.

In line with these ongoing developments, web access and dissemination technologies are

regularly updated to ensure both future proofing and enhanced user interaction.

3.3.2. Scientific publications and community

HMAP is on-schedule for its chapter to the McIntyre CoML book and has shared information

with Paul Snelgrove for his overview book. The Ocean’s Past II conference in May 2009 will

bring together about 100 researchers on the history of the oceans in Vancouver. The conference

is in collaboration with Prof. Tony Pitcher at UBC’s Peter Wall Institute for Advanced Studies.

17

Dr. Pitcher is leading a project called the Sea Ahead that fits well with the work of HMAP,

FMAP and the Census. Out of the conference there will be the opportunity to publish a large

body of work on the history of the marine environment. We request a contribution to cover

publication costs for PLoS One.

From all 15 HMAP research projects major papers are in press or under development as a

result of funding for HMAP IV. To give just an impression from one regional study: A historical

analysis of the Gulf of Maine cod fishery is in press in Fish and Fisheries (by K. Alexander et

al.), the first time this important journal has published a historical study. A further paper on the

full suite of exploited species in the Gulf of Maine is under development and will be presented as

a paper but also to a broader policy making audience in the coming year. In addition, a paper is

in press on the management of cultural resources (S. Claesson) in Marine Policy.

Cross-project integration with FMAP and NaGISA was funded under HMAP IV and is

well under way. HMAP and FMAP collaborate on syntheses of declines and restorations of

ecosystems and while one major review was recently published (Lotze & Worm 2009), several

are in the pipeline. HMAP and NaGISA collaborate in the History of Nearshore (HNS) project.

The project was launched after the 2005 All Program Meeting and is currently working on a

synthesis publication. HNS meets at three writing workshops in 2009, the first one held at the

Queen Mary. The next step is integration of the HNS synthesis with the NaGISA/FMAP

synthesis. At various times HMAP has also interacted with the shelf/salmon (POST), top

predators (TOPP), reefs (CReefs), ridges (MAR-ECO) and Arctic (ARCOD) projects.

The living legacy of HMAP will be the community of marine environmental historians

and historical ecologists. HMAP has already impacted universities and their teaching curricula.

We aim to make sure that the headway made will be sustained in coming years. A focus on

community and strong networks will ensure that the generous investments by the Sloan

18

Foundation will continue to reap returns in coming years. A final Oceans Past III conference will

therefore be held in November 2010 to mark the successful completion of HMAP and establish a

strong platform for future work.

4. How the Project is managed

A table of milestones and outcomes to be accomplished in the next two years is provided as

Appendix 5. The project will be managed by a Steering Committee whose tasks and

responsibilities will be to coordinate the general finalizing of the project, direct the Executive

Committee, and provide consultative advice during the year. The SC will meet in May 2009 in

Vancouver and will hold regular virtual meetings.

The HMAP Steering Committee consists of the following members: Alison MacDiarmid

(Taking stock-New Zealand), Andrzej Antczak (Mega molluscs), Andrew A. Rosenberg (Gulf of

Maine cod), David J. Starkey (North Sea), Henn Ojaveer (Baltic), James Barrett (Fishbone),

Jeremy Jackson Caribbean), Julia Lajus (White and Barents Seas), Malcolm Tull (Asia),

Michaela Barnard (Database), Poul Holm (Chair), Ruthy Gertwagen (Mediterranean/Black Sea),

Tim Smith (World Whaling).

Everyday management is in the hands of an Executive Committee: Poul Holm (HMAP

Chair: communication with CoML Management and CoML Scientific Steering Committee,

finances), Brian MacKenzie (research activities in case studies and synthesis), Andy A.

Rosenberg (synthesis), Bo Poulsen (Database and Education and Outreach), Anne Husum

Marboe (case study liaison, image database, integration with NaGISA). The EC holds frequent

virtual meetings. The EC will review progress and develop and coordinate outreach efforts for

the project as a whole, including coordination with the Census Outreach program. The EC will

19

coordinate interactions with other Census projects and ensure that the financial management of

the project is as efficient as possible.

The EC employs a part-time Executive Officer (Anne Husum Marboe) who is a marine

environmental historian and has broad experience to help connect the case studies, synthesis and

outreach to provide a cohesive framework for the last phase of the program. She will provide the

day-to-day presence in program management that is beyond the Steering Group and facilitate the

HMAP research outputs, coherence in the final phase and collaboration with Census and the

outreach team. She is specifically charged with: 1. Overall communication from central HMAP

to HMAP project leaders and HMAP community. 2. Communications and reports between

CoML and HMAP. 3. Liaison to the Census of Marine Life E&O team. 4. Management and

development of the HMAP Image Gallery. 5. Oversee the HMAP budget and account. 6. Support

of the HMAP web site, public, media and scientific area. 7. Liaison with HMAP project leaders

to support synthesis activities.

Grand Total 621 Budget justification

In line with the directions received from the A. P. Sloan Program Director, the budget requested for the last phase of HMAP is reduced by 20% relative to the budgets allocated for HMAP phases III and IV.

1. Institutional The Executive Committee will employ a communications officer (Kira Paulli Pravato) for 10 months of 2010 (75k). Kira is currently the HMAP project officer but will take maternity leave as from May 2009 to February 2010. She is a professional photographer and film maker and shall devote her time primarily to the visual products outlined in section 3.2.1.

From May 2009 Anne Husum Marboe shall take over as the HMAP Project Officer on a half-time basis for the remainder of the project (60k). Anne served in this capacity from 2001 to early 2007.

Travel funding is severely limited for this phase and will only allow for minimal synthesis-related travel (20k).

The data team at Hull University entails two part-time positions at a total cost of 65 k.

2. Visual projection Outreach products, web design and the image gallery are prime concerns for this phase as justified in section 3.2.1. (90k). Dr Stefan Claesson will be appointed as a post doc researcher in charge of mapping as outlined in section 3.1.1. (70k).

3. Outputs

The second main focus of this phase of HMAP is on policy briefings which are budgeted at 125k to allow for five regional initiatives. We request funding to publish selected papers of the Oceans Past II conference in 2009 in PloSOne, and funding for a final conference Oceans Past III, which is crucial to secure a community focus through this last phase and will be an important basis to secure the living legacy of HMAP (section 3.3.2.).

Appendix 4: Applications of HMAP data and knowledge

HMAP research efforts have attracted attention from within the community of the International Council for the Exploration of the Seas (ICES). ICES organized in August 2008 a Workshop on historical data on fisheries and fish [WKHIST] whose objectives were to a) compile an inventory of historical data on marine fisheries and fish stocks and the status of the data (paper, reference, digitized). The historical data should focus on the period 1850-1960 but earlier data should also be included; b) compile and develop methods for estimating changes in technical efficiency in historical fisheries; c) develop a workplan for case studies on historical stock dynamics in the ICES area and link this to overall changes in the environment. One of the chairs of the workshop was Bo Poulsen (RUC), who has been a major participant within HMAP since its inception. The workshop was very successful, a report is available, and ICES is now planning further activities related to the workshop outcome including a new study group and a theme session at a future ICES Annual Science Conference. These activities, if approved at the 2008 Annual Science Conference, will be helpful in promoting the utilisation of historical data and perspectives in the fisheries management and advisory process of ICES. Other HMAP results have been presented at the ICES workshop on Cod and Future Climate Change, June 2008 in Copenhagen. Historical (archaeological) data regarding development and presence of cod populations and fisheries were presented at the meeting and are used in developing workshop conclusions and recommendations. Historical data regarding bluefin tuna fisheries in northern Europe were presented at the World Symposium for the Study into the Stock Fluctuation of Northern Bluefin Tunas, Santander, Spain, April 22-24, 2008, which was organized by ICCAT and Spanish government agencies. Observations of bluefin tuna fisheries in the area before 1970 (start of ICCAT abundance time series) have since motivated ICCAT during its 2008 stock assessment meeting to extend its time series back to 1955 by incorporating historical data. The New Zealand Ministry of Fisheries, Aquatic Environment Medium Term Research Plan (2008), which funded the HMAP NZ project, stated in 2008 that this is “… a desktop review of current and historical information … to assess the extent to which New Zealand marine ecosystems have been affected by fishing and other anthropogenic forcing over the past 1000 years. This should provide a realistic baseline against which current and future status can be gauged.” New Zealand Ministry of Fisheries, Aquatic Environment Medium Term Research Plan (2008).

Appendix 6: Education An enduring legacy of HMAP is the continued training of undergraduate and postgraduate students. Until now some 20 graduate students and scores of undergraduate students have received training in marine environmental history / marine historical ecology. Previous workshops and summer schools were instrumental in this. Half a dozen scholars have visited partner institutions for longer stays thus furthering exchange and dissemination of knowledge.

Outreach News release postings, the launching of a new website and the production of informational videos explaining the methods used by scientists to reveal the oceans’ past, have been amongst the most important tools the Outreach Office has used to generate a broader knowledge of HMAP in the past years. Two press releases were posted which resulted in very good responses from the media.

1. Press release presented the special issue of Fisheries Research “History of Marine Animal Populations and their Exploitation in Northern Europe” Volume 87, Issues 2-3, Pages 101-262 (November 2007). Link: http://hmap.ruc.dk/news/html/News_Release_Fisheries_Research.pdf

2. Press release presented the book “Oceans Past: Management Insights from the History of Marine Animal Population”. Link: http://hmap.ruc.dk/documents/Press_Release_Oceans_Past_140108.pdf

11 articles were written on the basis of the releases and more that 200 pages on the internet published the press releases or linked to them. A new and enhanced website was launched in the spring 2008. The goal has been to present all the HMAP case studies, as well as the HMAP structure behind it, in a simple and accessible everyday language, and to make navigation to pertinent information easier. An important feature of the new website has been the short films presenting HMAP case studies. Seven videos have been produced about the following projects: HMAP, New Zealand, SE Australia, two videos from the White and Barents Sea, Baltic Sea and Asia. All videos are available on YouTube and at the HMAP website, as well. Link http://hmapcoml.org/news/video/ 3 HMAP newsletters have been published.

Appendix 7: Regional policy briefings Asia-SW Pacific regional summary of HMAP project results and policy implications Objectives: 1. Prepare documents that summarize the principal findings of the regional HMAP projects separately and collectively, place these within the global HMAP context, and outline the implications for marine policy. 2. Hold separate NZ and Australian policy briefing workshops for relevant national and local governmental agencies and other stakeholders (e.g. commercial and recreational fishing representatives, indigenous peoples) and conservation NGOs as a means of distributing and discussing the principal results and policy implications of HMAP projects. 3. Brief local and national media on the results of regional HMAP projects and their policy implications. Delivery on these three objectives will help to maximize the impact of the global and regional HMAP projects over and above the effects of science journal publications and scientific books. Ideally, separate policy briefings should be held in Australia and New Zealand as national stakeholders are unlikely to travel far to attend such a briefing. Draft outlines of the New Zealand and Australian policy briefings, provisionally scheduled for February 2010, have been prepared. The results and implications of our research are of interest to a variety of media. In NZ we will target Radio NZ National’s science program and Saturday Morning program, NZ Geographic magazine, Forest & Bird magazine and the science pages of the major daily newspapers. In Australia we will target the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, mainstream electronic and print media, and the serials and other media published by target institutions. Baltic cod, regional summary of HMAP project results and policy implications One of the most important outcomes of the Baltic HMAP is extension of the dynamics of the eastern Baltic cod population back in time at decadal and centennial scales. Our results confirm that during the 20th century, cod biomass was the highest during the early 1980s but might have been even higher 400 years ago. These results, interpreted in the context of new information on the ecosystem (incl., variability and dynamics of the key regime-forming abiotic parameters, upper-level trophic structure and interactions, abiotic-biotic coupling and mechanisms), and behavior and impacts of fishery provide new opportunities and challenges to use the historical information in setting new management baselines and improving the current understanding of historical performance of fish stocks under different ecosystem regimes. The main purpose of the current proposal is to communicate the Baltic HMAP findings, interpreted in the context of modern theory of ecosystem approach, to wider stakeholder and scientific community and facilitate the transition towards ecosystem based management of fish stocks in the Baltic Sea. Deliverables: 1. Policy Brief to be distributed to several relevant stakeholder groups like governmental bodies, national management authorities, NGOs, research institutes, and environmental groups. 2. Stakeholders interaction meeting to present the Policy Brief with three scientific presentations on relevant key findings from the Baltic HMAP and discuss the outcomes. It is intended to have the meeting together with the Baltic Regional Advisory Commission (BSRAC) and invite additional major regional stakeholders (incl., EU DG MARE, EEA, ICES, HELCOM) 3. Based on outcomes of items #1 and #2 above to produce research paper to be published in an international peer-reviewed journal (candidate journals: Marine Policy, Fisheries Research, Marine Ecology Progress Series).

White and Barents Sea HMAP project summary and policy implications The following findings have direct significance in terms of policy implications: 1. Positive climate effect on Atlantic salmon abundance revealed by our studies of the 17-19th centuries catch data allows for better forecast of population dynamics of this species in the situation of the current global warming. Atlantic salmon has significant commercial and cultural importance in the Russian North, moreover, statuses of the Russian populations of the Atlantic salmon as one of the largest in the world are important for the general fate of this valuable species. 2. Our finding that the overall abundance of Atlantic salmon did not considerably changed through 17-19th allows us to debunk the common myth of superabundance of fish resources in the ancient Russian North and their early depletion. Our results show that main changes in the abundance of salmon occurred in the 20th centuries due to well-known anthropogenic factors such as timber-rafting activities, dam construction, destruction of the spawning grounds and overfishing of salmon during sea phase of its life cycle. Our studies help to better understand the carrying capacity of the ecosystems and prove that sustainable use of salmon was possible during centuries and thus provide baselines and considerations for its sustainable management in current climatically favorable situation. 3. Our studies provide a clearer understanding of the appearance of warm-water species during recent years. Changes in the ecosystems of the Barents and White seas were manifest also during warm periods in the past. Descriptions of these events in the past are useful for the prognosis of future changes in the ecosystems. Deliverables: 1. Organization of a policy meeting together with the World Wildlife Fund and the recently established Russian Salmon Fund in Moscow in May-June 2010 with involvement of governmental fisheries agencies and other central and regional stakeholders such as fisheries representatives, conservation NGOs and research institutes (such as All-Russian Institute for Fisheries and Oceanography, P.P. Shirshov Institute of Oceanology, Polar Institute for Fisheries and Oceanography) to discuss management applications of HMAP projects in general and HMAP-Russia project in particular. Media coverage for this meeting will be organized on central and local levels. 2. Publication of a Policy Brief describing the main results of HMAP White and Barents Sea project. 3. Publication in the most important Russian fisheries journal (“Rybnoe khoziaistvo”) describing the main achievements of the HMAP White and Barents Sea team and their policy implications. This plan is feasible due to the contacts our team is already established with key NGO’s in the field such as WWF and Russian Salmon Fund. During 2008- 2009 Dmitry Lajus is involved in international activities around salmon conservation in general, working as an expert for the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and Marine Resources Assessment Group (MRAG Americas). Mediterranean and Black Sea Project: dissemination of results This project has been funded only during the last couple of years and synthesis is still ongoing. We do not propose a regular policy briefing for this research activity but to deliver on the synthesis level attained by other projects already during HMAP IV. The synthesis will take the form of a volume on methodological approaches and thematic topics. The first section will deal with methodologies (historical and ecological) and sources of information to be considered in applying the multidisciplinary HMAP approach in the context of the Mediterranean and Black Sea Region. The second section will be thematic and include selected papers by scholars

37

belonging to different disciplines that deal with historical changes in biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. The themes will be dealt with according to historical periods and longitudinally. The scientific editing will be carried out by Ruthy Gertwagen and Saša Raicevich. The volume will be delivered towards the end of 2010.

RESPONSE/SUPPLEMENT FROM NEW HAMPSHIRE

Thank you for the reviews of the HMAP Phase V proposal. We are pleased that the

reviews are very positive, the reviewers are complementary about the vision and quality of our work,

and suggest no major changes to the proposal. We also note with thanks the reviewers’ suggestions

for elaborating on certain aspects of the proposal. Specifically, they suggest clarifying the policy

impacts of HMAP, our vision for the program post-2010 and placing the outreach activities in

greater context, including the relationship of HMAP to the rest of the Census. The Review

comments have highlighted these key areas of the report and below we supplement the proposal with

further discussion of these topics.

Policy impacts

It is a key objective of this renewal proposal to make sure that the HMAP findings are

effectively communicated to policy makers, and reviewers have rightly pointed out that this is an

important challenge for the program. We will certainly work hard to make policy makers aware of

our findings, by publications, working groups, and most importantly, by direct interaction. As noted

in the reviews, it is not sufficient to assume that because we publish extensively in the academic

literature or even are reported widely in the press, that policy makers are informed about the

implications of HMAP research. Direct interaction is essential. In fact, Prof. Rosenberg teaches a

seminar course at UNH on exactly this topic of the interaction of scientists and academic researchers

in a policy environment and several of the HMAP graduate students have taken the course. Further,

because the leadership team of HMAP are highly regarded senior researchers, we have good access

to directly working with policy-makers. For example, Prof. Holm is directly engaged with the

European Commission and is a member of the European Science Foundation Science Policy

1

Working Group on European Landscapes. Prof. Rosenberg is working with the Joint Ocean

Commission Initiative in the US, the UN Global Marine Assessment Group of Experts and other

advisory bodies. In this regard, we have already had some success in including the Census and

HMAP in discussions of future ocean policy directions.

In this final phase of HMAP, we now have a broad picture of the history of the oceans

and the policy implications are sharpening all the time. The current Oceans Past II meeting and the

accompanying intense media interest have highlighted the issues of how our findings will affect

policy. In numerous interviews we have been articulating the policy implication of the former

productivity of the ocean for current and future efforts to rebuild depleted marine ecosystems. We

are demonstrating in a compelling manner that policy makers can shape goals for marine ecosystem

recovery that are not constrained to only the recently observed states of the ecosystem, but can take

into account a broader spectrum of system productivity, ecosystem complexity and spatial pattern.

HMAP will ensure that this will not just be a dialogue with the press for public consumption, but

will open an extended dialogue in policy settings. For example, the HMAP Gulf of Maine work is

being brought to the attention of the New England Fishery Management Council in the US.

Mediterranean researchers are engaged in the discussion over applying the Common Fishery Policy

in the Mediterranean, and HMAP has played a key role in the formation of a new ICES Working

Group on Fisheries History with a direct pipeline to policy makers. The report by the New Zealand

team will feed directly into NIWA policy. These efforts will come to fruition in this final phase of

the first Census.

We note the helpful suggestions of reviewer 1 to extend links US Marine Mammal

Commission and the US Arctic Commission. We are confident that Prof. Andrew Rosenberg’s

position as both a member of the HMAP executive team and as chair of the US CoML NRIC will

2

position us well to make this happen. Prof. Rosenberg is working with the Aspen Institute on their

Arctic Management Dialogue and has extensive contacts with the MMC.

Reviewer 5 raises a question about the specific HMAP contribution to the Census. We

are confident that the temporal data and synthesis both for losses and recoveries are crucial to the

Census 2010 report, which will rely on this information to establish global and regional evaluations

of ecosystem health and trends. Further, we have close connection and substantial overlap with

FMAP, NaGISA and the Gulf of Maine Project and our results will be integrated in, for example,

some of the synthesis work currently underway by the NRIC’s.

Since we submitted the proposal the HMAP Russian team has made important steps

towards organizing a policy briefing on salmon. Dr Dmitry Lajus has met with WWF people and

also with the director of newly established Russian Salmon Fund, which is connected with the Wild

Salmon Center in US. They expressed a deep interest. The Russian team is invited to provide a

historical background chapter for a new guide on “Effective management of salmon rivers in

Russia”, which is important because the new regulation for leasehold of salmon rivers was issued in

Russia in the end of 2008 which potentially could facilitate the development of sport fishing and

provide better possibilities for its regulation and organizing salmon conservation.

Overall, we believe that now that HMAP has effectively established the discipline of

marine environmental history and our senior researchers are well recognized within their countries

and regions, we have great opportunity to connect directly to policy makers globally. Further,

HMAP has trained a large number of graduate students, many of whom are now engaged in their

careers in academia, governments or NGOs and they carry the HMAP approach with them. They

will influence the perspectives of policy making organizations for years to come.

The outreach goals

3

Review 4 recommends some possible reduction in the budget without significant impact

on the synthesis phase, if required. We would comment that the project coordinator and outreach

officer, both part-time positions, have no other source of funding. Anne Marboe and Kira Paulli

Pravato have been key to the success of HMAP through the years. It would be detrimental to the

successful completion of the project if we lost one of them in the last phase. In addition, the

geographical scope of HMAP and the number of researchers engaged mean that our budget is spread

very thinly and the need for coordination is critical. While all of our project areas have successfully

pursued additional sources of funding, maintaining personnel (i.e. salaries) is the most difficult

budgetary challenge we face. That means that we need sufficient funding for core staff, and we are

barely meeting that requirement with this proposal.

Review 3 lauds as particularly imaginative the proposal for an HMAP image gallery for

use in educational and public outreach and for educational purposes, but expresses concern that

development of a substantial product with the time and resources available may be difficult. We

agree that this is a major stretch goal for HMAP but that the effort is worthwhile. We continue to

pursue additional funding to work with the museum community on an image gallery that will reflect

the HMAP project and the research approach. Prof. Holm has been invited to give a key note talk to

the International Congress of Maritime Museums in October this year and will highlight the image

gallery and interaction with museums. Displaying biodiversity and species size would certainly bring

new insights to the history of marine animal population as evidenced by the impact of the few

images we have posted to date on the website and in several publications (e.g. McClenachan et al.

2008). In addition, images of the coastal communities and their people, fisheries, and technology of

the past are particularly evocative as demonstrated by the extraordinary images used in many of the

presentations at the Oceans Past II symposium. Images and web facilities are educational tools and

4

communicate directly with a broad audience, particular younger students. We continue to believe

that we should strive to create an image gallery that can be added to in years to come as an important

outreach component of HMAP. Additional funding is being pursued in the US, and institutional

collaboration with Danish fisheries museums is already secured. The concept is envisioned to be

attractive for local museums providing them an opportunity to display their collections in an

international research based context. Seed money, to get a project started on including local

collections from various places, is a small but important part of the budget to be expended as

follows:

1. Research assistant: 10 kUSD (matching funding applied for, Danish Museums Initiative Grant)

2. Technical support and program development, with institutional support from Trinity College and

Roskilde University: 10 kUSD

3. Equipment, travel and other: 10kUSD

4. Funding for collection of images and metadata, copyright issues: 20 kUSD

Reviewer 2 recommends that the image gallery should cover how and why technology

was developed, what inspired the inventors or the companies or the governments to undertake their

development, how much was an adaptation of military-related technology, what technology is

needed, perhaps desperately, for the future, and what are the questions, if any, of the unintended

consequences of the technology. While fishery technology development is part of some HMAP

projects, the reviewer’s suggestions would constitute a major new initiative in itself and is not

feasible for the final phase of the program. Of course the image gallery will contain material related

to the development of fishing gear and other technology that has played an important role in the

exploitation of marine ecosystem, but not to the extent suggested.

5

We would like to develop the gallery in two dimensions (temporal and spatial) and four

themes:

1. Biodiversity (species and size)

2. Technology (vessels and boats, gear, processing)

3. Markets (markets, products, meals)

4. Culture (fishing communities, economy, spirituality and special places)

Metadata describing the image will be included and to that extent provide information to answer the

questions raised in the review.

In addition to outreach through the image gallery, HMAP has now developed a strong

linkage to the Census media and outreach program at URI lead by Darlene Trew Crist. In particular

we have worked to great effect with Ms. Trew Crist and Terry Collins on outreach for the Oceans

Past II meeting, resulting in articles, radio programs, TV flashes and other media stories on HMAP

ranging from Discovery, NGS, the NY Times, Radio Canada, the London Times and Le Monde to

Science. We plan to build on our effective collaboration in the integration of the HMAP results with

the Census more broadly in our communication and outreach efforts.

As the reviewers note, the HMAP Fishing Grounds mapping project, part of the synthesis

work begun under the last grant and to be completed in this final phase, will be an important

research product with great outreach potential (see figure below). Dr. Stefan Claesson, who did his

graduate work affiliated with HMAP and has recently published an important paper on the

management of cultural resources in the journal Marine Policy, is the lead for this mapping work

proposed for funding. We expect the mapping work to be an important part of the Census and Dr.

Claesson has begun work with the mapping group at Duke under Prof. Pat Halpin. The goal is to

integrate the historical research we are conducting with the broader efforts of the Census to

6

incorporate into the Google Ocean efforts of Halpin and his co-workers. We believe this is

achievable under the proposed program of work.

Post-2010

HMAP has been successful in embedding its approach into various institutions through the

appointment of young staff in partner institutions, and the successful introduction of marine

environmental history in various curricula. The appointment of Prof. Poul Holm to a Chair in

Environmental History and Director of an interdisciplinary research institute at Trinity College

Dublin positions him well to carry the HMAP approach into the future. These are significant

legacies, with grant-raising potential for post-2010.

With regard to the situation at Hull, we have recently agreed with the University that the

HMAP data will be secured for the foreseeable future in an institutional repository called eDocs.

Moreover, the manager of the HMAP data team Michaela Barnard has been granted a continuing

contract in the History Department, with HMAP specified in her job description. This will help

secure the HMAP database in the long-term.

In the US, Prof. Rosenberg has been actively engaged in discussions, through the US

National Committee, with NOAA and USGS to transition the Census work from the first census to a

long-term public private partnership for research on marine biodiversity. USGS is engaged with

OBIS to maintain the Census database. Prof. Rosenberg has also made presentations to the NOAA

Science Advisory Board, and the National Ocean Council Joint Subcommittee on Ocean Science and

Technology and other government agencies on the role the Census can play in future US ocean

science and policy advice. HMAP is part of these discussions. The goal is to secure the future of the

Census in the US ocean science enterprise.

7

In addition, HMAP researchers around the world continue to aggressively pursue funding

opportunities. HMAP at Murdoch Univ. in Australia recently completed a workshop on the Asia

Pacific program with the goal of proposal development. Researchers in the US are pursuing NSF,

NOAA and private Foundation funding. European researchers are seeking funds to continue HMAP

research well beyond the end of the first Census in 2010.

The reviewers have rightly noted that this is a critical issue for HMAP and all Census

projects. It is a high priority for the ongoing HMAP program and will receive our urgent attention

throughout this final phase of the program.

Overall, the reviewers have highlighted the key issues we ourselves are seeking to

address in this proposal. We hope this supplemental explanation of our proposed program clarifies

our thinking with regard to these issues, but as always are prepared to continue to strive to strengthen

the HMAP program in every way possible.
