The European Marine Board was established in 1995 to facilitate enhanced cooperation between European marine science organizations towards the development of a common vision on the strategic research priorities for marine science in Europe. Members are either major national marine or oceanographic institutes, research funding agencies, or national consortia of universities with a strong marine research focus. In 2019, the European Marine Board represents 33 Member Organizations from 18 countries. The Board provides the essential components for transferring knowledge for leadership in marine research in Europe. Adopting a strategic role, the European Marine Board serves its member organizations by providing a forum within which marine research policy advice to national agencies and to the European Commission is developed, with the objective of promoting the establishment of the European Research Area. -

Towards an Alliance of European Research Fleets
TOWARDS AN ALLIANCE OF EUROPEAN RESEARCH FLEETS Reporting Project Information EUROFLEETS Funded under FP7-INFRASTRUCTURES Grant agreement ID: 228344 Overall budget Status € 8 945 202,12 Closed project EU contribution Start date End date € 7 200 000 1 September 2009 31 August 2013 Coordinated by INSTITUT FRANCAIS DE RECHERCHE POUR L'EXPLOITATION DE LA MER France Final Report Summary - EUROFLEETS (TOWARDS AN ALLIANCE OF EUROPEAN RESEARCH FLEETS) Executive Summary: The quality of the infrastructures available for marine research contributes to Europe research performance. Marine research infrastructures are so considered as key elements of the European Strategy for Marine Research. A coherent pan-European approach with enhanced partnership in investment, development and usage of research fleets is necessary to better meet the diverse needs of European marine research. From its launching in September 2009, the EUROFLEETS (full name: “Towards an alliance of European research fleets”) process aims at bringing together the European research fleets owners and operators to enhance their coordination and to promote the cost-effective use of their facilities. It supported research services for the sustainable management and the monitoring of the regional seas and the oceans, and organized a common access to modern and well equipped research vessels to European and international g q pp p scientists and industrialists on sole condition of scientific excellence, thereby contributing to the EU ambitious goals for maintaining the ocean biodiversity or understanding climate change. Funded by FP7 (GA n°228344), the EUROFLEETS project included 24 diverse beneficiaries from 16 countries: 14 EU member states including 4 “recent” ones, and 2 countries associated to EU. -

1 Inhabiting the Antarctic Jessica O'reilly & Juan Francisco Salazar
Inhabiting the Antarctic Jessica O’Reilly & Juan Francisco Salazar Introduction The Polar Regions are places that are part fantasy and part reality.1 Antarctica was the last continent to be discovered (1819–1820) and the only landmass never inhabited by indigenous people.2 While today thousands of people live and work there at dozens of national bases, Antarctica has eluded the anthropological imagination. In recent years, however, as anthropology has turned its attention to extreme environments, scientific field practices, and ethnographies of global connection and situated globalities, Antarctica has become a fitting space for anthropological analysis and ethnographic research.3 The idea propounded in the Antarctic Treaty System—that Antarctica is a place of science, peace, environmental protection, and international cooperation—is prevalent in contemporary representations of the continent. Today Antarctic images are negotiated within a culture of global environmentalism and international science. Historians, visual artists, and journalists who have spent time in the Antarctic have provided rich accounts of how these principles of global environmentalism and 1 See for instance Adrian Howkins, The Polar Regions: An Environmental History (Cambridge, UK: Polity, 2016). 2 Archaeological records have shown evidence of human occupation of Patagonia and the South American sub-Antarctic region (42˚S to Cape Horn 56˚S) dating back to the Pleistocene–Holocene transition (13,000–8,000 years before present). The first human inhabitants south of 60˚S were British, United States, and Norwegian whalers and sealers who originally settled in Antarctic and sub-Antarctic islands during the early 1800s, often for relatively extended periods of time, though never permanently 3 See for instance Jessica O’Reilly, The Technocratic Antarctic: An Ethnography of Scientific Expertise and Environmental Governance (Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 2017); Juan Francisco Salazar, “Geographies of Place-making in Antarctica: An Ethnographic Approach,” The Polar Journal 3, no. -

Roald Amundsen and Robert Scott: Amundsen’S Earlier Voyages and Experience
Roald Amundsen and Robert Scott: Amundsen’s earlier voyages and experience. • Roald Amundsen joined the Belgian Antarctic Expedition (1897–99) as first mate. • This expedition, led by Adrien de Gerlache using the ship the RV Belgica, became the first expedition to winter in Antarctica. Voyage in research vessel Belgica. • The Belgica, whether by mistake or design, became locked in the sea ice at 70°30′S off Alexander Island, west of the Antarctic Peninsula. • The crew endured a winter for which they were poorly prepared. • RV Belgica frozen in the ice, 1898. Gaining valuable experience. • By Amundsen's own estimation, the doctor for the expedition, the American Frederick Cook, probably saved the crew from scurvy by hunting for animals and feeding the crew fresh meat • In cases where citrus fruits are lacking, fresh meat from animals that make their own vitamin C (which most do) contains enough of the vitamin to prevent scurvy, and even partly treat it. • This was an important lesson for Amundsen's future expeditions. Frederick Cook с. 1906. Another successful voyage. • In 1903, Amundsen led the first expedition to successfully traverse Canada's Northwest Passage between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. • He planned a small expedition of six men in a 45-ton fishing vessel, Gjøa, in order to have flexibility. Gjøa today. Sailing westward. • His ship had relatively shallow draft. This was important since the depth of the sea was about a metre in some places. • His technique was to use a small ship and hug the coast. Amundsen had the ship outfitted with a small gasoline engine. -

Autumn Spawning Herring Around Faroes During Summer 1991
ICES 1991 PAPER C.M. 19911H:50 Pelagic Fish Cttee AUTUMN SPAWNING HERRING AROUND FAROES DURING SUMMER 1991 by Jan Arge Jacobsen Fiskiranns6knarstovan N6at6n, FR-IOD T6rshavn Faroe Islands • ABSTRACT Investigations in 1990 indicated that concentrations of herring feeding in the Faroese area from May through July were similar to North Sea herring. Again in 1991 North Sea type herring was distributed in Faroese waters in May-July and approximately 16.000 tonnes fished. Results from an exploratory fishery and a research vessel survey showed, as in 1990, that the herring might be an adult part of the auturnn spawning herring in the north-western North Sea migrating into the Faroese area to feed from May to late July. However, in 1991 more by-catch of herring was reported from the mixed industrial fishery than previous years. • 2 INTRonucnoN At prcsent two different groups of hcrring can be id~ntified as occurring at Faroes, one group of Iocal summer spawners found in the fjords', (Täning 1943), and one group of autimm spawners migrating into the Faroese area from May to late July, probably from the north-western North Sea around Shetland isles (Jacobsen 1990). A new fishery on this herring has been established south-east of the isles. The catch figure for 1990 was 5.500 tonnes and the preliminary catch in 1991 amounted to 'over 16.000 tonnes. ,' , ,I".' • In 1991 Fiskiranns6knarstovan received several re ports' on by-ciltches of herring in various fisheries for othcr species arourid the Faroes during the 'spring, and the reported herring was all of the Nortll-Sea type.
