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.
