PARTICIPANTS' ACTIVITIES

As part of the campaign, all participants made commitments to take action to improve the sustainability of marine and aquatic resources used at their institution, and to inform the public about the campaign. It's been a challenging year, and we would like to know how everyone is getting on so far.

Please click here to complete our first year campaign survey. The survey will take around 15-20 minutes to complete, depending on your answers, and will be open until 31 December. Thanks in advance for your time.
