local economies of increased spending
on recreation and tourism from the
reduction or elimination of marine
debris on beaches in seven coastal
communities of the continental U.S. The
data collection will consist of on-site
sampling to generate a pool of
respondents who will be sent a mail
survey that asks questions related to
beach attributes, local beach familiarity,
number of beach trips taken, and ratings
of marine debris encountered while on
these trips. Onsite sampling will involve
intercepting people at several beaches in
each study area and asking them to
participate in a mail survey. For those
willing to take the mail survey, a brief
onsite interview will ask the
respondent’s name and mailing address,
as well as several demographic
questions such as age and education.
Those who do not agree to participate in
the mail survey will only be asked the
demographic questions, whether they
participated in a single or multi-day
trip, and zip code. A mail-survey mode
will be used for the follow-up
questionnaire. The mail survey
instrument will combine a selection of
questions from a previously OMBapproved survey instrument used in
Orange County, California with new
contingent behavior questions
developed specifically for this study to
determine the impact of the presence of
marine debris on respondents’
recreation choices. This data collection
will determine the impact of marine
debris on survey respondents’ recreation
choices at these seven coastal
communities and represents the first
component to be undertaken as part of
the larger study.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

I. Abstract
Pursuant to the National Marine
Sanctuaries Act and the Coastal Zone
Management Act, this request is for a
new data collection to benefit the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA), Office of
National Maine Sanctuaries (ONMS),
and policy-makers on the state and local
level in Wisconsin.
In 2015, NOAA announced its intent
to designate a new national marine
sanctuary off the western coast of
Wisconsin in Lake Michigan, extending
from Mequon to Two Rivers. The
proposed sanctuary would focus on
conserving maritime heritage resources,
fostering partnerships with education
and research partners, and increasing
opportunities for tourism and economic
development. The National Ocean
Service (NOS) proposes to collect data
on how residents use the region for
recreation, sociocultural values
residents place on the region, and
economic values of the region for
relevant recreational tourism.
Respondents will be sampled from

households in nine coastal cities and
counties.
This research will support the
sanctuary’s long-term management plan,
provide the foundation for monitoring
changes over time, as well as provide
baseline information to help inform
local coastal zone management and
planning to enhance access to Lake
Michigan.
II. Method of Collection
The data collection will take place
over a five to nine month period and
will be comprised of a questionnaire to
be completed by the respondent. The
data will be collected via an internet
survey instrument.
