The Coastal & Oceanic Plankton Ecology, Production & Observation Database (COPEPOD) offers a variety of searching options, designed to help you find the data you desire via a variety of pathways.

• Geographic Search:   Use this if you want to browse all data sets found within an ocean or region.

• Metadata Search:   Use this if you are looking for data from a specific ship, cruise, country, project, institute, investigator, or contributor.

• Taxonomic Search:   Use this if you are looking for data for a specific taxa group (e.g., "diatoms", "copepods").   This access option takes you to the Interactive Atlas.
