Help RCRE to Help You

(from Jersey Coast Anglers Association April 2006 Newsletter)

Rutgers Cooperative Research and Extension is seeking information from recreational anglers and boaters with two upcoming projects.  Both surveys are anonymous, and are set up through the “Webmonkey” survey web site.

The first is related to the content on the RCRE Seafood Safety Web Site (http://www.rcre.rutgers.edu/seafoodsafety). This web site aims to inform the public with research-based information to help make choices about including seafood in their diets.  Please visit us and let us know how we are doing, as we are constantly trying to add new and useful information.  One hundred anglers are sought to participate in a short survey about seafood consumption patterns and perceptions of risk, which will help steer the content of specific information presented on the web site. Other populations are being surveyed as well, to make sure we reach all our potential audiences, and we hope to compile this research and present it on the web site. The survey may be reached at this web address:  http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=627681317086

The second study is for recreational boaters, regarding expired marine flares.  For this survey, we’d like 100 boaters to answer a few questions about marine flares and disposal practices.  The results of this survey will help determine the need and scope of a project to assist with disposal of expired flares in the Jersey Shore region, and possibly statewide. The results of this project will hopefully enhance both boating safety and water quality. The survey may be reached at this web address:  http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=797221260045
