Scientists disregard historical research at their peril. Here is a striking example of how multi-disciplinary collaboration needs to be improved - and the danger to policy if not @oceans_past @oceanhistories @ICES_ASC #shiftingbaselines @ERC_Research Thread: 1 of 9
Schijns, Froese, Hutching & Pauly just published academic-oup-com.elib.tcd.ie/icesjms/advanc… based on historical catch data that are widely out of sync with all that the ERC-funded NorFish project published: www-tandfonline-com.elib.tcd.ie/doi/full/10.10… 2/9

¿Tenéis recuerdos de infancia de la naturaleza? Constatar que algunos aspectos de aquel medio natural ya no existen es perturbador. Nuestros hijos recordarán un entorno distinto. Hablamos de las líneas de base cambiantes #shiftingBaselines 👇 #divulMARtes @FBiodiversidad
Las líneas de base cambiantes son cambios graduales en lo que consideramos “la condición normal del medio ambiente”: con un entorno en deterioro progresivo, cada generación se acostumbra a su medio y reconoce como normal lo que sería un medio degradado para gen. anteriores.
Este concepto fue acuñado en los '60 dentro del urbanismo para comparar el paisaje actual con el de tiempos pasados. Pero fue el biólogo pesquero Daniel Pauly el que popularizó el síndrome de la línea de base cambiante en #pesquerías en 1995…
