Why OPI?

The Ocean Past Initiative (OPI) thrives on collaboration and the collective strength of its diverse network.
We invite researchers, scholars, and practitioners from across the globe to join us in advancing the understanding of humanity’s relationship with the ocean through archaeology, historical ecology, and environmental research.

As a member of OPI, you will be part of an international community dedicated to exploring the intersection of cultural heritage, climate change, and sustainable fisheries.

By joining, you will enjoy reduced fees in our OPI conferences, help strengthen our research efforts, foster cross-cultural collaborations, and support early-career researchers.
