This request is for extension of a
currently approved information collection. Mokupapapa Discovery
Center (Center) is an outreach arm of Papahanaumokuakea Marine
National Monument that reaches 60,000 people each year in Hilo,
Hawai`i. The Center was created eight years ago to help raise
support for the creation of a National Marine Sanctuary in the
Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. Since that time, the area has been
proclaimed a Marine National Monument and the main messages we are
trying to share with the public have changed to better reflect the
new monument status, UNESCO World Heritage status and the joint
management by the three co-trustees of the Monument. We therefore
are seeking to find out if people visiting our Center are receiving
our new messages by conducting an optional exit survey. MDC is
requesting to conduct a second survey to evaluate patron acuity to
determine successful concept attainment. By conducting thorough
evaluations it will aid in vital decisions regarding exhibit
renovation, new exhibits, interpretational programs, and
educational content.
