  4. Among people who live in #port cities in the #UK, "light pollution appears to be the lowest priority, with only four cities saying it is a very important issue." Furthermore, "ports are least likely to receive complaints about soil and light pollution, as well as invasive species, with the majority of the sample stating they never receive these complaints."

    Dear #Mariners and followers of our group:

    This is just a quick note to let you know that our treasured #EarlyModernMaritimeStudies group now has over 190 members! Can you spread the word about the group to colleagues and friends who work on the #Oceans, on #CoastalAreas, #PortCities, on the #SlaveryArchive and so many related topics, so we might hit 200 followers by the end of the week? Thanks! This is pretty exciting 😊!

  6. Moved instances so new #introduction post: I’m all about #history especially of #london, also #PortCities. I work in #museum and #heritage #learning and #engagement, just started a digital learning role at the Museum of London. I also enjoy making things and moving my body around, have a million hobbies none of which I’m very good at and that is OK.

  7. To all my #Colonial, #LatinAmericanist and #EarlyModernist #IberianStudies colleagues:

    I’d like to call your attention to a group that may be of your interest. I created the @earlymodernmaritimestudies a few months ago with those of you whose work touches on the #Sea, on #PortCities, #CoastalAreas, #SlaveryArchive and related topics, in mind. our definition of "Early Modern" is expansive. If this group fits with your research program, please check us out and follow!

  8. This post from a member of the Early Modern Maritime Studies Group I organized not long ago meant *the world* to me: 😊 "I'm glad you like it, Elizabeth! And thanks for providing a platform for the wider early modern Iberian world!" Made all the time and effort worth it. The group has over 100 members now! If you work on the #Sea in any manner (#MaritimeHistory, #CoastalStudies, #PortCities, #SlaveryArchive, #OceanStudies, #Pirates, etc.), check us out! @earlymodernmaritimestudies

  9. Hello, everyone! I hope you survived the server tempest, despite the loss of data, etc. Please, let’s reconnect! I write to let you know that I created the @earlymodernmaritimestudies group right before the server went down. Here’s the revised group description, for those whose work & interests fit. As you can see, we use “early modern” expansively! Have a look!
