SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge
has partnered with Utah State
University to conduct a public survey of
visitors to the Kodiak National Wildlife
Refuge who participate in bear viewing
at structured and unstructured sites.

June 28, 2013.
September 11,
2013.

Questions will address logistical aspects
of bear viewing (including the amount
of money visitors are willing to spend
on viewing and amenities), satisfaction
with current experiences (based on
number of bears, density of other
visitors, length of stay, and education
received), and reported changes to
attitudes and behavior related to bear
conservation based on visitors’
experiences on the refuge. Survey
results are crucial to understanding
public demands for and expectations of
bear viewing, so that the refuge can
better facilitate bear viewing
opportunities and better convey
educational messages on bear
management.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The Water Resources Research Act of
1984, as amended (42 U.S.C. 10301 et
seq.), authorizes a research institute
water resources or center in each of the
50 states, the District of Columbia,
Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands,
Guam, the Federated States of
Micronesia, the Commonwealth of the
Northern Mariana Islands, and
American Samoa. There are currently 54
such institutes, one in each state, the
District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the
U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam. The
institute in Guam is a regional institute
serving Guam, the Federated States of
Micronesia, and the Commonwealth of
the Northern Mariana Islands. Each of
the 54 institutes submits an annual
application for an allotment grant and
provides an annual report on its
activities under the grant. The State
Water Resources Research Institute
Program issues an annual call for
applications from the institutes to
support plans to promote research,
training, information dissemination, and
other activities meeting the needs of the
States and Nation. The program also
encourages regional cooperation among
institutes in research into areas of water
management, development, and
conservation that have a regional or
national character. The U.S. Geological
Survey has been designated as the
administrator of the provisions of the
Act.
