Subject: Needs Assessment Survey for Monitoring Data – We Need Your Opinion!

Dear [Respondent Name],

NOAA’s National Estuarine Research Reserve System needs your feedback! In the next few days, you will receive an email with a link to a brief survey that NOAA is conducting to explore how long-term estuarine monitoring programs can better address regional and national coastal management needs. The survey will ask for your feedback on coastal management priority issues; use of coastal monitoring data and information to inform coastal management decisions; the extent to which this information meets your needs; and preferences on how monitoring data is synthesized and delivered.

This is a voluntary survey. The survey will take approximately 20 minutes to complete, and NOAA will use these survey results to help guide investments in data synthesis for research, education, and outreach programs. We value your input and hope you will participate. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Thank you in advance for your participation!

Sincerely,

[NOAA Contact]
