As an introduction to the entire volume, this article outlines the relationships among the five elements of the Census of Marine Life (CoML) that create new knowledge: (1) The Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS), a marine component of the Global Biodiversity Information Facility, links marine databases around the world to provide an Internet accessible, dynamic interface for comparing species-level, geo-referenced biodiversity data in relation to ocean habitats. The entire CoML field project data will be managed in and accessible through OBIS. (2) The History of Marine Animal Populations (HMAP) is a unique new synthesis of historical and biological research that will document marine biodiversity, globally, up to 500 years ago, before significant... |

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. (1) How has the extent and diversity of these populations changed over the last 2000 years? (2) Which factors have influenced these change? (3) What has been the anthropogenic and biological significance of these changes? (4) What has been the interplay of changing marine ecosystems and human societies?... |

In the setting of a program of census and identification of cetaceans in the Tunisian waters, started in 2001 by a pilot campaign limited to the region of the Sahel (of Sousse to The Chebba), the INSTM (National Institute of Sea Sciences and Technologies of Tunisia) and the CRC-Marineland (Center of Research on the Cetacean Antibes, France) achieved a second prospecting campaign from the first to May 28, 2003. This campaign, baptized « ASPIS 2003 », concerned the zone of the 15 MN of Kélibia to Zarzis, in the east and the south of the country. The north zone has not been prospected practically following bad weather. The density of the common bottlenose dolphin <Tursiops truncates> has been estimated to 0,19 animals/km2, with a coefficient of... |
