He coined the influential term \"shifting baselines,\" which describes how knowledge of environmental disaster fades over time, leading to a misguided understanding of our world. He exposed the global fishing industry, alerting the public to the devastation of overfishing, and developed data-driven research methods that led to groundbreaking discoveries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePauly is also a man whose life was shaped by struggle. Born after the Second World War to a white French woman and Black American GI in Paris, Pauly's childhood has been described as Dickensian. His father left before he was born, and his mother, whose family did not accept her and her mixed-race son, fell prey to a manipulative Swiss couple who abducted Pauly under murky circumstances. He was taken to Switzerland, where he was treated cruelly as the couple's servant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePauly escaped to Germany to attend university and, as a young man, travelled to the United States during the 1969 civil rights movement.
