Details: The program supports projects from both natural and social scientists that seek to uncover interactions between natural and human history in marine and estuarine environments worldwide. MCBI is particularly interested in studies describing systems prior to large-scale human impacts and industrialization. Research may draw on sources ranging from culturally and geographically derived data, to biological and physical data. Examples of possible information resources include fishery data, letters, journals, interviews, oral histories, historical documents, maps, photos, field surveys, etc. We particularly encourage projects that support our efforts in the following areas: 1) The Northwestern Hawaiian Islands and the Hawaiian Monk Seal; 2) U.S. Marine Protected Areas and Marine Sanctuaries; 3) The High Seas, which are those areas outside of nation’s jurisdictions; and 4) The impacts of fishing on marine populations and ecosystems.
