Shape1 TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION:


Usability Study Survey – Great Lakes Coastal Wetland Web-tools


PURPOSE:


The USFWS is contracting with Gunner Technology to conduct a usability assessment of two web-based coastal wetland decision support tools. The USFWS funded the development of these tools to support on-the-ground conservation practitioners, purveyors of coastal wetland grant programs, and academics in identifying the best coastal wetland conservation projects, or to further research into coastal wetland conservation. Although first versions of the tools were developed with end user input, the USFWS is planning to make future investments in these web-tools and desire to both improve tool functionality and expand into other geographic areas with the most interest by the users.


The data collected by Gunner Technology will inform a report with recommendations including a list of potential site improvements based on user experience and needs, estimated cost to implement improvements, and the amount of effort to complete each improvement. This will allow the USFWS to serve the conservation community and others with the best possible information for Great Lakes coastal wetland conservation and research.
