Dear Person:
You have been selected to participate in an important survey about coastal &ocean Georgia and
Grays Reef National Marine Sanctuary.
In about a weeks’ time, you will receive a questionnaire in the U.S. mail.
This survey is intended for those who do not use or visit Grays Reef National Marine Sanctuary
(GRNMS). Managers of GRNMS would like to know how you feel about ocean & coastal
resources management off the Georgia coast and in GRNMS. And, more specifically, your uses
of these ocean & coastal resources and your opinions about different management strategies and
regulations. Results of this survey will be posted on the Office of National Marine Sanctuary
web site.
Your specific responses or any personal information about you will not be made public to protect
your privacy. Only statistical summaries of information across all survey respondents will be
released publicly or made available to GRNMS managers.
For statistical sampling purposes, we need the person in the household that is 18 years of age
or older and who last celebrated their birthday to fill out the questionnaire.
Your participation in this effort will be extremely appreciated.
Sincerely,

Contractor

Last week, a questionnaire seeking your use of Georgia’s
coastal & ocean areas and your opinions of Gray’s Reef
National Marine Sanctuary (GRNMS) was mailed to you. You
were sent a survey because your name was randomly
selected from a list of all residents of Georgia.
If you have already completed and returned the
questionnaire to us, please accept our sincere thanks. If
not, please do so today. We are especially grateful for your
help because your responses will help us in understanding
your uses of coastal & ocean areas in Georgia and opinions
of GRNMS.
If you did not receive a questionnaire, or if it was
misplaced, please call (TBD) or email to (to be determined)
and we will gladly get another one in the mail to you.
Sincerely,
To be determined, GRNMS Survey Technician
