Abstract: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Ocean Service (NOS), Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS) proposes to collect information from scientists and researchers who conduct research in national marine sanctuaries (NMS). Up-to-date socioeconomic data is needed to understand the research activities that occur within NMS, the contributions that NOAA’s ONMS makes to research within sanctuaries and the economic impacts of research that occurs within sanctuary communities. The types of data targeted for this collection; research topics, technology used, resources at the NMS site including staff time, equipment, boat time, expertise, funding, researchers’ expenditures and sources of funding. The primary focus for the survey will be to gather expenditures of the researchers. Specifically, ONMS will collect data to determine the economic impacts/contributions (by using IMPLAN) to the local communities.
