SURVEY on lake manager perspectives

Source: https://www.facebook.com/GLEONetwork/

The “SMAC” research group, part of the Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network (“GLEON”) Reservoirs and Lake Management Working Group, has launched a survey on lake manager perspectives regarding the role of science in management. The idea for this project arose from a discussion at a GLEON All Hands’ meeting about wanting to better disseminate science to management organizations in order to support having current, relevant knowledge to be available for protecting our lakes. 

As a group of scientists, “SMAC” wants to get insights from their interdisciplinary partners about:

  • the challenges that are impacting lake ecosystem management,
  • the role of science in lake management planning and decision-making,
  • how we can more efficiently communicate in order to effectively collaborate together.
Results from the survey will:
  • be published in an open access, peer-reviewed journal and
  • help inform the next phase of the project which is to develop tools that can assist scientists with communicating their research and findings to managers.
The survey (in English) is 25 questions and is estimated to take 20 minutes.
