Dear Person:
You have been selected to participate in an important survey about coastal & ocean Georgia and
Grays Reef National Marine Sanctuary.
In about a weeks’ time, you will receive a questionnaire in the U.S. mail.
This survey is intended for those who have used or visited Grays Reef National Marine
Sanctuary (GRNMS). Managers of GRNMS would like to know how you feel about ocean &
coastal resources management off the Georgia coast and in GRNMS. And, more specifically,
your uses of these ocean & coastal resources and your opinions about different management
strategies and regulations. Results of this survey will be posted on the Office of National Marine
Sanctuary web site.
Your specific responses or any personal information about you will not be made public to protect
your privacy. Only statistical summaries of information across all survey respondents will be
released publicly or made available to GRNMS managers.
For statistical sampling purposes, we need the person in the household that is 18 years of age
or older and who has used or visited Grays Reef to fill out the questionnaire.
Your participation in this effort will be extremely appreciated.
Sincerely,

Contractor

Last week, a questionnaire seeking your opinions and
uses of Gray’s Reef National Marine Sanctuary
(GRNMS) was mailed to you. You were sent a survey
because your name was randomly selected from a list
of all users of GRNMS.
If you have already completed and returned the
questionnaire to us, please accept our sincere thanks.
If not, please do so today. We are especially grateful
for your help because your responses will help us in
understanding the users of GRNMS.
If you did not receive a questionnaire, or if it was
misplaced, please call (TBD) or email to (To be
determined) and we will gladly get another one in the
mail to you.
Sincerely,
(To be determined), GRNMS Survey Technician
