Questionnaire on information needs to support decision-making relevant to coral reefs

Thank you for agreeing to participate in this study.

On behalf of the World Resource Institute (WRI), National Geographic Society (NGS), The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and Vulcan Inc., this survey aims to identify key data needs required to inform decisions relevant to coral reefs. Your participation is vital to help identify key data sets, as well as data gaps to improve information platforms to support decision-making on coral reefs and in coastal areas.

This survey should take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete.

We know that your time is valuable and to help encourage participation, we will offer an underwater camera to each of 3 respondents with complete surveys - to be selected at random at the close of the survey! (Survey closes October 28th.)

Please answer questions to the best of your knowledge. Please skip questions that you feel are outside your area of expertise.
