Abstract:
Historical research is playing an increasingly important role in marine sciences. Historical data are also used in policy making
and marine resource management, and have helped to address the issue of shifting baselines for numerous species and
ecosystems. Although many important research questions still remain unanswered, tremendous developments in
conceptual and methodological approaches are expected to contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the global
history of human interactions with life in the seas. Based on our experiences and knowledge from the ‘‘History of Marine
Animal Populations’’ project, this paper identifies the emerging research topics for future historical marine research. It
elaborates on concepts and tools which are expected to play a major role in answering these questions, and identifies
geographical regions which deserve future attention from marine environmental historians and historical ecologists.
