Personal action for environmental change

If you are a coral scientist, practitioner, student or, for any reason, you are enthusiastic about coral reefs, I invite you to participate in a short (5-10 minute) survey about your personal actions for environmental, and ancillary societal, change. Your participation is completely voluntary, and there are no foreseeable associated risks. However, if you feel uncomfortable answering any question, you can withdraw at any point.
Your responses will remain strictly confidential and all data from this questionnaire will be reported only in the aggregate. If you have questions at any time about the survey or procedures, you may contact Dr. Franziska Elmer (franziskaelmer@hotmail.com).

Thank you very much for your time and support. You can start now by clicking the Next button below.
