Activities and Benefits in WCVI Coastal Marine Areas

Thank you for taking this survey about your activities on the West Coast of Vancouver Island (WCVI), British Columbia and the benefits you enjoy from those activities. This survey takes about 10 minutes.

This survey is intended for anyone who resides, visits, or benefits from the WCVI and its resources (see map). The results will help shape the development of an ocean and coastal management plan for this area, which is being developed by the Tsawalk Partnership (www.tsawalk.ca).

This survey's purpose is to identify your activities and your perceived benefits of WCVI coastal marine ecosystems.

Skip any questions you don't wish to answer.
