Over the past decade, marine environmental historians have begun to mobilize the major themes of traditional environmental history---wilderness and the frontier---to provide insight into our neglected oceans, and the changing nature--culture interactions therein. Yet while practitioners of environmental history, with its powerful focus on landscapes of the American West, have assimilated scientific perspectives to varying degrees, the same is not true of marine environmental historians. Because scientific research has permeated political, cultural, and economic understandings of saltwater and freshwater resources over the past 150 years, analyzing human relationships with watery geographies during the modern era requires critical dialogue between the natural and social sciences. However, as essential as biology, physics, chemistry, anthropology, and the history and sociology of science are for elucidating key questions of marine environmental history, we must guard against creating barriers for those without formal training in science or in fields providing critical perspectives on science. Given the tensions that have risen between historians and scientists in innovative initiatives to improve marine management, moving toward mutual goals requires a closer look at the positioning of marine environmental history vis-à-vis science in particular and academia overall.
