This expedition, led by the University of Bremen, is part of the joint project CUSCO - "Coastal Upwelling System in a Changing Ocean" funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and coordinated at GEOMAR. During the cruise MSM80, productivity and trophic interactions will be studied in the Humboldt Current Upwelling System off Peru in order to elucidate the reasons for the extremely high fisheries yield compared to other coastal upwelling regions and to answer the question how the system will respond to global climate change.
