Gulf of Mexico Research Plan Survey

Subject: Gulf of Mexico Research Plan Survey

The Gulf of Mexico Research Plan (GMRP) is being used in several initiatives that are funding millions of dollars of research in the region. Research priorities may have shifted and additional priorities may need to be addressed due to recent events including the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. We are updating the GMRP as a service to the research community.

We are using a survey as one way to collect stakeholder input. The survey will close on October 8th. If you have not yet completed the survey you can at the web address below (click it or paste it into your browser):

The survey takes less than 15 minutes to complete. If you have already completed the survey, we thank you for your time and input. We would appreciate it if you would forward the survey to others within your networks.

A Planning and Review Council provides input and guidance to the GMRP effort, which is coordinated by the four Sea Grant College Programs in the region. For more information you can visit the GMRP website at: http://masgc.org/gmrp/index.htm

The GMRP and associated surveys and workshop results are available to you. I can provide you with customized survey results if it is of interest to you. If you have questions or wish to obtain a paper copy of the survey, please contact me via email (stephen.sempier@usm.edu) or phone.

Sincerely,
Steve Sempier
