Ecotrust MLPA survey - Complete it while you can!!!

[PAL]

WHAT: If you signed up for the online Ecotrust SoCal MLPA Survey and couldn't finish it for whatever reason, your time is running out. As of Oct 1, this thing is done.

WHY: This data product will carry tremendous weight in the reserve planning process. A lot of closure decision-making (where NOT to slam the door) will be based on it. Get your say!

Only 296 people in all of Southern California had completed a survey as of Sept 18. Do you want to trust YOUR fishing spot to such a small group of unknown people?

HELP IS AVAILABLE: If you have any survey issues or concerns, please contact Ecotrust. They can provide technical support, reactivate expired survey invitations, restore incomplete sessions, and even perform a limited number of in-person surveys.

The Ecotrust contacts:

Jon Bonkoski: 503.467.0804 / jbonkoski@ecotrust.org
Sarah Kruse: 503.467.0785 / skruse@ecotrust.org
The general Ecotrust email is fish@ecotrust.org

If they don’t respond in timely fashion, let me know and be as specific as you can.

Thank-you,

Paul Lebowitz
Kayak Fishing Association of California
