FMAP: Future of Marine Animal Populations

Subseries contains correspondence, research data, and conference minutes and notes related to the Census of Marine Life subcommittee Future of Marine Animal Populations (FMAP). The Future of Marine Animal Populations project analyzed fishing data and scientific surveys to determine changes in diversity and distribution of marine life. The project, headed by Canadian scientists Ian Jonsen, Heike Lotze, and Boris Worm (and previously by Ransom Myers), identified hot spots of diversity drawn from the Census of Marine Life database and changes in water temperature as one of the most integral determinants in the shaping of marine diversity patterns, while confirming that marine conservation helps to correct the rapid population declines associated with over-exploitation of marine stocks.

GOMA: Gulf of Maine Area

Subseries contains correspondence, research data, and conference minutes and notes related to the Census of Marine Life subcommittee Gulf of Maine Area (GOMA). The GOMA project involved creating a species register of the diverse Gulf of Maine, examining tidal pools, slopes, seamounts, and other underwater landforms. The project, headed by Canadian and American scientists Sara Ellis, Lewis Incze and Peter Lawton, assembled more than 4000 species and microbes native to the area (more than twice the amount previously determined to live in the Gulf). The project used sonar as a means of examining the overall marine ecosystem and species’ interactions, rather than focusing on individual species.

HMAP: History of Marine Animal Populations

Subseries contains correspondence, research data, and conference minutes and notes related to the Census of Marine Life subcommittee History of Marine Animal Populations (HMAP). The History of Marine Animal Populations project traces evidence of how human activity and nature have changed marine life in recent years. The project, led by Irish scientist Paul Holm, Danish scientists Brian MacKenzie, Anne Husum Marboe and Bo Poulsen, and American Andrew Rosenberg, examined the prevalence of shell jewellery, evidence found in whaling logs, fishing boats' taxation logs, historical storm records, and numerous other primary and secondary sources, documenting humanity’s destruction of marine habitats, fish stocks and invertebrate populations.

ICoMM: International Census of Marine Microbes

Subseries contains correspondence, research data, and conference minutes and notes related to the Census of Marine Life subcommittee International Census of Marine Microbes (ICoMM). The International Census of Marine Microbes project sought to determine the diversity and distribution of microscopic sea life from hundreds of locations around the world. The project, led by Americans Mitchell Sogin and Linda Amaral-Zettler and Dutch scientist Jan de Leeuw, discovered that initial estimates of ocean-residing microbe species was vastly under previously predicted levels, with numbers of species being at least ten times greater than previous estimates, and many more widely distributed than predicted. They also discovered that thousands of different microbe species live within a single litre of seawater.

MacLaren Marex Inc. records

Series consists of records regarding correspondence, proposals for research and reports submitted to companies, research centres and government departments by MacLaren Marex Inc.

Management and administration of the Census of Marine Life

Subseries contains records related to the management of the Census of Marine Life in general. File includes membership rolls, general budgeting information, Loan applications, meeting minutes, and CoML-related news and promotional information.

MAR-ECO: Patterns and Processes of the Ecosystem of the Northern Mid-Atlantic

Subseries contains correspondence, research data, and conference minutes and notes related to the Census of Marine Life subcommittee Patterns and Processes of the Ecosystem of the Northern Mid-Atlantic (MAR-ECO). The Patterns and Processes of the Ecosystems of the Northern Mid-Atlantic project documented marine life along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The project, led by Norwegian scientist Odd Aksel Bergstad, documented about a thousand species, from the smallest invertebrates to various species of whales, in deep basins and along the slopes of the underwater mountains.
