The CPR Survey and the international shipping community
Since the first Continuous Plankton Recorder tow was made by the SS Albatross between Hull, NE England and Bremen, Germany in September 1931, more than 300 vessels have volunteered to maintain the Survey. The impact of the Survey does not rely on any single route, but the combined power of our international network. The Survey is greatly indebted to the Captains and Crew of all the tow ships, their ship owners, management companies, charterers, port staff, stevedores and agents. Their support is gratefully acknowledged, as without it this valuable plankton research could not be economically performed.
