# Preface{-}

The Continuous Plankton Recorder Survey is a long-running survey program that collects abundance information for zooplankton populations in the surface ocean around the world. This resource is used when looking at the intra-annual variation in zooplankton populations like those here in the Gulf of Maine.

For more information about the continuous plankton recorder program, its history, and the status of other transects please visit www.cprsurvey.org.
