Purpose of Study: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) created the Coral
Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) to safeguard and ensure the welfare of the coral reef ecosystems
along the coastlines of America’s States and Territories. CRCP is embarking on a new National Coral
Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP), intended to enhance the conservation of coral reefs. The purpose of
this survey is to better understand your attitudes and behaviors related to coral reefs in order to ensure this
new program is designed appropriately from the start.
Description of survey procedures and approximate duration: We would greatly appreciate you
completing the attached survey and returning it either in the pre-addressed stamped envelope, email it to
Christy.Loper@noaa.gov.
Your participation is crucial to the success of this study. The survey should take approximately 30
minutes to complete.
Confidentiality: Your specific responses will not be disseminated to the public in a way which could
potentially reveal personally identifiable information (PII). Aggregate and summary statistics will only
be publicly available for the data which will allow the identities of survey respondents to remain
confidential. CRCP will maintain the data in accordance with the highest standards of information
security and will keep PII data only as long as is absolutely necessary to complete the survey.
