The Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) survey (1931 to present) is the only long-term and ocean basin wide operational survey of plankton in the world. This project will provide a continuation of USA support for a further five years, 2011-2016. A continuation of funding by the USA will help maintain core monitoring by the CPR routes in the western Atlantic from Iceland down to the eastern margin of the USA. There is a growing awareness that the quality of marine ecosystems is subject to a wide range of impacts from climate change, acidification, eutrophication, loss of biodiversity to over fishing. Long-term observations like the CPR survey are critical in evaluating and quantifying the scale and effects of such issues as well as providing a macroscale "backbone" to an ecosystem approach to environmental management. As a long-term program the main objective of the CPR survey is to maintain the spatial and temporal integrity of the survey and to continue to add further years to the time series. Other objectives include: facilitating innovative marine ecological research, data provision and model validation, contributing to international and integrated observing systems and to knowledge/policy transfer.Intellectual merit: The project will help monitor and describe the long-term, pelagic variability and diversity in the NW Atlantic. The data collected during this program will help scientists to interpret marine biological changes and begin to distinguish between anthropogenic, climatically forced and natural plankton variability. More specifically scientific research will be directed along four science themes: (i) Macroecology and climate change impacts including ocean acidification; (ii) Biodiversity and changes to ecosystem functionality including monitoring invasive species; (iii) Sustainable use of marine bioresources; (iv) Environment, pollution and ecosystem health including monitoring microplastics. All these four themes are crucial to increasing our scientific understanding of our changing oceans and are highly relevant USA marine policy requirements. Throughout the duration of the project it is envisaged that the data collected will provide invaluable information in addressing these highly topical themes and understanding these impacts on the marine ecosystems of the NW Atlantic.Broader impacts: The broader impact of this proposed project will be wide and will not only contribute to addressing U.S marine issues but will also significantly contribute to international programs such as IGBP/SCOR international programs as well as the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) and Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS). New technologies have allowed CPR samples to be analyzed using molecular techniques and collect additional oceanographic information. Products from the survey are also being used to construct and validate a new generation of ecosystem, fishery and climate models. Securing the long-term maintenance of the CPR sample archive as well as the new microbial and metazoan archive will maximize its use by the wider scientific community by making it available for molecular, biogeochemical and other studies. SAHFOS has an Associated Researcher Program and education program and continuously disseminates KT policy with the production of a website www.sahfos.ac.uk, Annual Reports and Annual Ecological Status Reports.

连续浮游生物记录器（CPR）调查（1931年）是世界上浮游生物的唯一长期和海洋盆地广泛的运营调查。该项目将在2011 - 2016年期间提供美国支持的延续。美国的资金延续将有助于维持西部大西洋中心从冰岛到美国东部边缘的CPR路线的核心监控。人们越来越意识到，海洋生态系统的质量受到气候变化，酸化，富营养化，生物多样性丧失到过度捕鱼的影响。 CPR调查等长期观察对于评估和量化此类问题的规模和影响以及为环境管理的生态系统方法提供宏观的“骨干”至关重要。作为一项长期计划，CPR调查的主要目的是维持调查的空间和时间完整性，并继续增加时间序列。其他目标包括：促进创新的海洋生态研究，数据提供和模型验证，为国际和综合观察系统以及知识/政策转移做出贡献。智能优点：该项目将有助于监视和描述NW Atlantic的长期，上层可变性和多样性。该计划期间收集的数据将有助于科学家解释海洋生物学变化，并开始区分人为的，气候强迫和自然浮游生物的变异性。更具体地说，科学研究将遵循四个科学主题：（i）宏观生态学和气候变化影响，包括海洋酸化； （ii）生物多样性和生态系统功能的变化，包括监测入侵物种； （iii）可持续使用海洋生物库； （iv）环境，污染和生态系统健康，包括监测微塑料。这四个主题对于增加对不断变化的海洋的科学理解至关重要，并且是美国海洋政策高度相关的要求。在整个项目的整个过程中，要设想收集的数据将在解决这些高度局部主题并理解对新西北大西洋海洋生态系统的这些影响方面提供宝贵的信息。BROACHER的影响：该拟议项目的更广泛的影响将是广泛的，不仅会为美国的海洋问题做出贡献，还可以贡献国际范围的计划。 （鹅）和全球地球系统系统（Geoss）。新技术允许使用分子技术分析CPR样品并收集其他海洋学信息。调查中的产品还用于构建和验证新一代的生态系统，渔业和气候模型。确保对CPR样本档案的长期维护以及新的微生物和后生存档，将通过使其可用于分子，生物地球化学和其他研究，从而最大程度地利用更广泛的科学界使用。 SAHFOS拥有一项相关的研究人员计划和教育计划，并通过生产网站www.sahfos.ac.uk，年度报告和年度生态状况报告不断传播KT政策。
