What is being bought
The Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) Survey is a 90 year long-term marine plankton monitoring programme consisting of a network of transects towed each month across the Atlantic and European shelf seas. The CPR Survey delivers highly important, policy-relevant, strategic research. Research outputs are currently used to monitor changes in marine biodiversity and food webs and have enabled the development of indicators which assess the ecological health of UK regional seas under the UK Marine Strategy (UKMS), the Defra 25 Year Environment Plan and OSPAR biodiversity commitments. OSPAR is the mechanism by which 15 Governments & the EU cooperate to protect the marine environment of the North-East Atlantic.
