Check out Dr. Malin Pinsky's paper based on his presentation at the 2024 Larkin Lecture at @ubcoceans.bsky.social. Amazing to see our PI's #shiftingbaselines concept being part of it!

The Need for Shifting Baselines to Guide Fisheries and Ocean Activities From Days to Decades
With novel ocean conditions rapidly appearing as the result of climate change, basing decisions about fisheries and other ocean activities on historical conditions is no longer tenable. There is inst...

Trawling in North Sea began 17th century... 🌊 #ShiftingBaselines
Assessment of trawling impacts on 10 Vulnerable Marine Ecosystem indicator taxa (e.g. cold-water corals) across New Zealand waters show that 30 years of trawling reduced VME area by 20.8 %, with losses up to 40.7 % in some bioregions.

"Julien Eli’s #ShiftingBaselines, a documentary about a town in upheaval due to the arrival of SpaceX, is one of the most interesting and critical takes on Elon Musk. It offers an unromantic view of his vision for the future: desolate and uninhabitable."

« Le film est percutant grâce à son regard à la fois sociologique et scientifique sur un sujet inédit, sublimé par une photographie en noir et blanc tout à fait à propos. Ses images nous hantent, et c’est sans doute le signe d’un documentaire réussi. »

#ShiftingBaselines is something our team talks about a lot (in fact, we’re currently working on a paper on this exact issue). So, we’re pleased to see it featured in another important study 🧵1/3

Nostalgia feels true because our brains compare today to the brightest day of our youth: before king-tide floods, before fire-haze sunsets. Old harms like sewage-slick surf faded from memory; new harms feel fresh & unfair. 🧠🌊

What did get worse, or louder, are the planetary shifts the ocean now wears on its surface: hotter seas fueling stronger storms, coral bleaching, rising tides swallowing dunes, micro-plastics in plankton nets. We traded visible smog for an ocean fever. 🌡️🌊

Fisheries scientist Dr. Daniel Pauly introduced the idea of #shiftingbaselines 🌊—where each generation of scientists unknowingly accepts a more degraded ocean as “normal,” masking the true extent of decline in fish species & sizes. 🐟 (Pauly, 1995) wildfish.org/latest-news/...

Shifting baselines are real. New divers might call a damaged reef “healthy” because they’ve never seen it thriving. Without historical memory, conservation efforts can lose urgency.

But there’s a catch: shifting baselines.
Each generation forms its sense of “natural beauty” from what’s around them. If reefs are degraded over time, people may normalize less vibrant, less diverse ecosystems as beautiful because they don’t remember what was lost.
