Information for visitors
1. The policy reasons for this study
The National Marine Sanctuary Program (NMSP), in its latest 10-year strategic plan, seeks to raise awareness,
understanding and appreciation of marine ecosystems through interpretation efforts such as these exhibits.
The NMSP education team seeks to evaluate this and other program activities to assess education program
outcomes and impacts, and to link outcome measures to program efforts. The purpose of this effort is to
evaluate if current and future education efforts are meeting the goals and objectives of the education and
outreach programs and the educational mandates of the National Marine Sanctuaries Act.

2. The way in which the information will be used to further performance of agency functions.
The information from this survey will be used to align exhibit and educational programs developed in the
future at Mokupapapa Discovery Center, to better deliver the NMSP’s, and Papahanaumokuakea Marine
National Monument’s messages to the 60,000 people who come to this Discovery Center each year. All of
this information will help us determine what messages are and are not being conveyed in our exhibits, and
what we need to improve on in both exhibits and educational programs to fulfill agency goals.
