I am a researcher from the University of Western Australia working on a project to capture recreational boaters’ awareness and attitudes towards management of Australia’s coastal and offshore waters. This research is being funded by the Federal Government as part of the National Environmental Sciences Program and is being conducted with Parks Australia.

We are reaching out to you as we would like to represent the attitudes of recreational boaters affiliated with clubs. We would very much appreciate your help in distributing our survey link to your club members by email or social media. To help with this we have attached a survey flyer which can be attached to an email or a social media post. You can access this flyer here Boating Survey Flyer.

The survey is available by clicking on this link: http://tinyurl.com/ausboatingsurvey

This survey forms part of a wider strategy to help ensure recreational boaters voices are represented in shaping Australia’s marine management. If you have any further questions about the research please have a look at the attached information form or feel free to get in contact by emailing:

Thank you and best wishes,
