The Asia Research Centre announces 5 working papers from the History of
Marine Animal Populations project. Since 2006, Malcolm Tull of the Asia
Research Centre has been the Project Leader of the Asia module of HMAP,
the historical component of the Census of Marine Life, which "aims to
improve our understanding of ecosystem dynamics, specifically with
regard to long-term changes in stock abundance, the ecological impact of
large-scale harvesting by man, and the role of marine resources in the
historical development of human society".
