Future Of Marine Animal Populations
The Future of Marine Animal Populations (FMAP) project was one of the core projects of the international Census of Marine Life (2000-2010). FMAP's mission was to describe and synthesize globally changing patterns of species abundance, distribution, and diversity, and to model the effects of fishing, climate change and other key variables on those patterns. This work was done across ocean realms and with an emphasis on understanding past changes and predicting future scenarios.
