Dear Ecology members: *Invitation to take a 5-10 min survey on marine protected areas*
Do you have two or more years of experience working in, or doing research in, one or more marine protected areas (MPAs)? We want to hear from you! Please take a few minutes to fill in this short (~5-10 min), anonymous survey about MPAs, available in English, Spanish, French at the following link: http://mpasurvey.ca/
The survey can be filled out multiple times, once for each MPA. Knowledge of non-native species, or their presence in an MPA, is *not*//required.
/About the project:/ Marine non-native species can have severe impacts on native species, habitats, and ecosystems, yet there is minimal knowledge of the prevalence of non-native species and their impacts in MPAs. As researchers from Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the University of Victoria, we seek to determine the global perception and management of non-native species in MPAs.
Thank you for your help! Ms. Dominique Saheed Research Assistant University of Victoria 3800 Finnerty Rd Victoria BC V8P 5C2 Cell:250.686.1056 <tel:%28250%29%20686-1056>
