Squadron members have been given an opportunity
to participate in a marine survey in which the
goal is to find out how many potentially
invasive plants and animals are moved around BC
on the hulls of recreational boats.
The survey has been initiated by Chathryn Clarke
Murray, a graduate student at UBC and a
PhD Candidate.
“The survey targets the boating community and
asks questions about where they go on their
boats, how long they spend in other marinas plus
how often they clean their hulls and what
techniques they use. It is a web-based
survey which may be viewed at
www.canadianboatsurvey.com
.
Her target audience is “all boaters in BC so the
more boaters aware of the survey, the better”!
She will have paper copies for the members who
would prefer pen and paper and can be reached at
(778) 997 5129.
Please make use of this opportunity to provide
research information to assist in preserving our
precious waterways.
