Was given this on my website... thought it good to post the info on here for albany kitesurfers...
"little information currently exists to describe how and where the community uses the marine environment for recreation across the south coast region. We invite anyone who recreates in the south coast marine environment, whether on holidays, occasionally, or every day, to complete the South Coast Regional Marine Planning Recreational Marine Usage Survey. Every person's response is important and we are looking for more responses to the survey to get the best possible representation of marine recreation to use in South Coast Regional Marine Planning. We are interested in any kind of recreational activity that relates to the marine environment. So far we have not had alot of responses from kitesurfers! "
you can go to the link shown below to download and to find more info about the survey...
rmp.naturebase.net/south-coast/community-recreational-marine-usage-survey.html"Results can then be used together with information on other marine uses and environmental values, to help planners identify and manage potential issues or impacts on the community in their future marine planning exercises. Individual results will be kept strictly confidential. Only the summary of all the survey responses will be used. For additional information on South Coast Regional Marine Planning and the survey please visit the website:
