Paddlers! — We NEED Your Input ASAP!
By Dave Brezina
Secretary, Chicago Harbor Safety Committee
Dear Paddlers & Colleagues,
We need your input! Please complete this short survey to provide insight needed to update A Guide for Multiple-Use Waterway Management, Second Edition published in 2004. The Third Edition update will include a website with a compilation of online resources for managers who are responsible for the wise, safe multiple-use of our rivers, lakes, harbors and coastal waterways.
A great change seen by waterway managers since the 2004 edition is the growth of multiple forms of recreational boating and competing expectations for use of our nation’s waterways.
Be part of the update to the new Edition of Waterway Management.
This survey asks you to identify potential challenges faced by waterway managers including drivers of new uses and activities. Survey responses will ensure the Third Edition of the Guide addresses topics of greatest concern with examples, if available, illustrating management challenges and successes.
Please take a few minutes to complete this survey to ensure your voice is heard and that the updated Guide becomes a reliable resource for you and your colleagues. The 10-question survey should take fewer than eight minutes to complete. Access the survey at this link:
Please share this email and survey link with your colleagues and others interested in multiple-use waterway management. The survey will remain open until August 1, 2020.
The project is funded under a national non-profit grant from the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund administered by the United States Coast Guard. The grant was awarded to the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators which is providing program oversight. The project is guided by a project steering committee including representatives from a wide range of user groups and management agencies. For a list of steering committee members and for additional information on the project, visit https://www.nasbla.org/nasblamain/advocacy/waterwaymanagement .
On behalf of the project team, thank you for your completion of this short survey.
