GLIN==> GLRC Clean Beaches Initiative Questionnaire

Dear Great Lakes Beach Managers:

 

A lot of good things are happening at Great Lakes beaches and we need to
ensure beach managers around the region are informed and equipped with
the latest in best beach management practices.  Your input and
experience is requested.

 

The Great Lakes Regional Collaboration ( <http://www.glrc.us/> GLRC)
Strategy <http://www.glrc.us/>  identifies coastal health as a priority
recognizing the significance of beaches to the economic well-being,
health and quality of life of the region's citizens.  The GLRC Clean
Beaches Initiative <http://www.glrc.us/initiatives/beaches/index.html>
is an effort to help encourage the implementation of best beach
management practices, including the use of sanitary surveys and actions
to remediate contamination sources, as outlined by the GLRC Strategy.
The GLRC Clean Beaches Initiative workgroup is comprised of federal,
state, local, and tribal partners.  

 

To help gather information on best practices, remediation efforts,
predictive modeling, and more related to beach management, partners of
the GLRC Clean Beaches Initiative have developed a brief questionnaire
for beach managers to complete.  We understand folks are pressed for
time, but we think the information we can glean from this questionnaire
is valuable and will be of great benefit to beach managers around the
region and beyond.  

 

You can access the questionnaire on Survey Monkey at:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=zagzHwc65oxaxvPwdFJxdg_3d_3d.  If
you can't click on the link, please copy and paste it into your web
browser.   

 

Please complete the survey by May 8, 2009.  

 

The goal is to use the responses we get to develop a resource for beach
managers on best beach management practices.  Ultimately, we hope to
provide beach managers with information that will help keep our Great
Lakes beaches healthy and safe.  Based on the responses we receive, we
plan to develop and launch the resource for beach managers by the fall
of 2009.

 

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me at
melissa.soline at glslcities.org / 312-201-4517.  I'd be happy to talk
through the questionnaire with you if you'd prefer.

 

Thanks,

Melissa
