safeguard and ensure the welfare of the coral reef ecosystems along the coastlines of Americas states and territories. In accordance with its mission goals, NOAA developed a survey to track relevant information regarding each jurisdictions population, social and economic structure, the benefits of coral reefs and related habitats, the impacts of society on coral reefs, and the impacts of coral management on communities. The survey is repeated in each jurisdiction every five to seven years in order to provide longitudinal data and information for managers to effectively conserve coral reefs for current and future generations.
The purpose of this information collection is to obtain human dimensions information from residents in the seven United States U.S.
jurisdictions containing coral reefs:
Florida, U.S. Virgin Islands USVI, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands CNMI.
Specifically, NOAA is seeking information on the behaviors and activities related to coral reefs, as well as information on perceptions of coral reef conditions and attitudes toward specific reef conservation activities.
Each survey has a core set of questions that are the same for all jurisdictions to allow for information to be tracked over time. To account for geographical, cultural and linguistic differences between jurisdictions, the survey questions include items that are specific to the local context and developed based on jurisdictional partner feedback.
We intend to use the information collected through this instrument for research purposes, as well as for measuring and improving the results of our reef protection programs. Because many of our efforts to protect reefs rely on education and changing attitudes toward reef protection, the information collected will allow CRCP to ensure that programs are designed appropriately at the start, future program evaluation efforts are as successful as possible, and outreach efforts are targeting the intended recipients with useful information.
Pursuant to a request from the Office of Management and Budget OMB, this collection of information is being revised to restructure these surveys as a hybrid-generic collection.
II. Method of Collection Information will be collected using the most efficient and effective methodology that is feasible in the individual jurisdiction. For the three
