Description

As the agency reported it.

Activities
Our project will leverage a professional survey company to capture state-specific perspectives of aquaculture, aiming to identify misconceptions and develop targeted state-specific outreach products. Each survey will be developed with input from sea grant and aquaculture association members from each state and will consist of both common core questions and state-specific questions. Each survey will be administered through a multi- modal approach combining online, telephone, and text message based engagement as this is a proven method for capturing a diversity of public opinions.
Expected outcomes
From these surveys, we will create and distribute state-specific outreach materials, leveraging digital and print media and in-person events to engage diverse audiences, including the public, policymakers, and underserved communities. Collaboration with state aquaculture associations will increase our ability to capture the needs of diverse industry members and identify audiences for each outreach product.
Intended beneficiaries
By highlighting the benefits and practices of sustainable aquaculture through the proposed outreach activities, we anticipate increasing aquaculture literacy among policy makers and the public, thereby facilitating growth and sustainability in the industry. In summary, this project will bridge the GAP between public perception and the realities of aquaculture, using targeted surveys and educational outreach to promote a scientifically informed understanding of sustainable aquaculture and its role in regional and global economies and food security.
Subrecipient activities
Each sea grant program will facilitate the development of both core and state-specific survey questions. Results from each survey will be used by each subrecipient to develop outreach materials for their prospective audiences.
