I am posting this on behalf of the Surfrider Foundation, Mid Atlantic Region: Surfrider Mid-Atlantic Coastal and Ocean Recreation Survey Short Version: We Need Your Help Collecting Data on Coastal and Ocean Recreation! Your help is needed to ensure that your favorite recreational areas are considered in coastal and ocean planning coming to the Mid-Atlantic. The Surfrider Foundation is conducting an online survey of recreational users such as beach goers, swimmers, beach wildlife viewers, surfers, kayakers, windsurfers, and divers. For more information please visit http://midatlantic.surfrider.org. Participation is simple: go to http://www.surfrider.org/mid-atlantic-recreation and enter your email address.
Thanks Micah for posting ............. Disappointing only 74 views; just an FYI for others, this project was announced at our DE SR meeting late spring by SR Regional Director and newly SR "statistician" to produce and complete these vital stats for our regions. If you agree with SR or not, they are devoting considerable time and money to develop economic value of recreational activity of our beaches/ocean that doesn't exist at all for surfing related activities. We finally have a venue to establish a "price tag" for our expenditures so not fulfilling this opportunity would be a shame as these statistics that can be utilized in the future addressing many surfing related issues with an economic value. Please devote some time for the survey ................... its that important
Taking it now. . . . Done. It took 11 minutes. Seriously everyone, take the survey. It is a big help when they can tell the politicos how much economic activity surfing generates. That's often the only way to get them to listen.
