The consultant group Peak Sustainability recently conducted three focus groups for the Northwest Straits Commission to document anchorage practices and preferences shared by recreational boaters. The Northwest Straits Commission is working with multiple partners in Washington State and British Columbia on a campaign to promote recreational boating awareness regarding anchoring near eelgrass.
Following the completion of the focus groups with boater participants, a survey has been created to gather additional information from a wider audience of recreational boaters. This survey is primarily intended for those who boat in the Salish Sea. The Salish Sea extends from the north end of the Strait of Georgia and Desolation Sound to the south end of Puget Sound, and west to the mouth of Juan de Fuca.
Boater participation in the survey will help provide direction and next steps in this important campaign to help bring awareness regarding the importance of eelgrass. Boaters can take the 10-minute survey HERE. The survey will be available through January 8, 2024.
The beautiful waters in the Salish Sea are rich in marine life like salmon, crabs, and other marine species that rely on eelgrass beds for their habitat. While many factors negatively impact eelgrass, boaters can play a role in helping to protect eelgrass by anchoring outside of eelgrass beds. Your participation in the survey is much appreciated.
This survey will also be distributed via Waggoner Guide eNews and the RBAW newsletter. If you have already taken this survey from one of those sources, thank you for your participation and time!
