October 31, 2016 — The following was released by the Marine Fisheries Advisory Committee and is being distributed by Saving Seafood at the request of an MAFAC member:
The Marine Fisheries Advisory Committee (MAFAC) is conducting a short survey, and feedback from stakeholders interested in fisheries and aquaculture and others is important! MAFAC needs your help.
The purpose of this survey is to help us learn more about the information resources fishery stakeholders need and use regarding the effects of large-scale environmental change on fisheries, aquaculture, and coastal communities. This is a voluntary survey.
This survey includes 14 questions and will take about 10 minutes to complete. We would like to hear from stakeholders about the types of information resources they need and use, the leaders they trust, and what information formats they find useful. MAFAC will use the information gathered in this survey to formulate recommendations for NOAA regarding the information needs of stakeholders, how NOAA communicates with stakeholders, and which tools or methods are most useful. If you have a question about the survey or how the information will be used, you can contact MAFAC.info@noaa.gov.
Please fill out this survey and share the survey link with other stakeholders. It will be open until Friday, November 25, 2016. The survey can be found here:
