The Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) survey (1931 to present) is the only long-term and ocean-basin-wide in-situ survey of plankton in the world. This award continues the CPR survey in the western Atlantic from Iceland to the eastern margin of the United States. It uses a consistent, cost-effective methodology deployed from ships-of-opportunity to continue a unique and invaluable time series of phytoplankton and zooplankton observations in the surface ocean. The primary objective of this project is to maintain the spatial and temporal integrity of the CPR time series and facilitate marine ecological research. Because plankton form the base of the marine food web, long-term and basin-scale observations allow us to understand how marine ecosystems respond to stressors such as climate change, acidification, eutrophication, and loss of biodiversity from fishing pressure, ultimately enabling ecosystem-based management of marine resources. Broader impacts include contributions to U.S. and international and integrated observing systems, marine policy, and marine resource management. Data from the CPR survey are made publicly accessible through the Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office. In addition, maintenance of a sample archive will maximize its use by the wider scientific community.This project observes and describes long-term, pelagic plankton variability and diversity in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean. The data are enabling scientists to interpret marine biological change and assess anthropogenic, climatically forced, and natural plankton variability over multi-decadal time scales. Scientific research is anticipated to advance a number of key lines of scientific inquiry that will incorporate responses of the marine plankton community to large-scale environmental change, how changes can impact ecosystem productivity, and how connected these changes are across the wider Atlantic. In addition, CPR research focuses on biodiversity and invasive species; sustainable use of marine bio-resources; and ecosystem health, ocean acidification, and micro-plastics. These themes are highly relevant to timely and compelling scientific questions, marine policy and management interests of the United States, and broad societal concerns regarding the marine environment.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

连续的浮游生物记录器（CPR）调查（1931年）是世界上唯一的长期和海洋范围内的现场调查。该奖项继续从冰岛到美国东部边缘的西大西洋进行CPR调查。它使用了从开放式船只中部署的一致，具有成本效益的方法，以继续在地表海洋中的浮游植物和浮游动物观测的独特而宝贵的时间序列。该项目的主要目的是维持CPR时间序列的空间和时间完整性，并促进海洋生态研究。由于浮游生物构成了海洋食品网的基础，因此长期和盆地规模的观察结果使我们能够了解海洋生态系统如何应对压力源，例如气候变化，酸化，富营养化以及捕鱼压力因生物多样性的丧失，最终使基于生态系统的海洋资源管理。更广泛的影响包括对美国和国际和综合观察系统，海洋政策和海洋资源管理的贡献。 CPR调查的数据可通过生物学和化学海洋学数据管理办公室公开访问。此外，样本档案的维护将最大程度地利用更广泛的科学界的使用。该项目观察并描述了西北大西洋的长期，上层浮游生物的可变性和多样性。这些数据使科学家能够解释海洋生物学变化并评估多年时间尺度上的人为，气候强迫和天然浮游生物的可变性。预计科学研究将推进许多关键的科学探究线，这些探究将纳入海洋浮游生物社区对大规模环境变化的反应，变化如何影响生态系统的生产力以及这些变化的联系如何在整个大西洋地区进行。此外，CPR研究重点是生物多样性和入侵物种。可持续使用海洋生物资源；以及生态系统健康，海洋酸化和微塑料。这些主题与及时，引人注目的科学问题，美国的海洋政策和管理兴趣以及有关海洋环境的广泛关注相关。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的审查标准通过评估来进行评估的。
