Lyme Bay: closure of an area to scallop dredging and heavy trawling gear.

Invitation to participate in a research project on the economic impact

Thank you for your continued participation in this research project. Your response to the earlier questionnaire was extremely valuable and has given us detailed background information on the socio-economic impacts of the Lyme Bay closure.

We would like to invite you to take part in the second stage of this research and to complete the following questionnaire. Please try to fill in the questionnaire as honestly and thoroughly as possible. We know that your time is valuable and we have therefore developed a questionnaire which should not take long to complete.

Your opinion matters and your response is therefore extremely important if the results are to truly reflect the opinion of the stakeholder community in Lyme Bay. Answers given will remain confidential and only aggregated data will be used in the analysis and reporting. By taking part in this questionnaire you are consenting to the use of the data you provide for the purpose of this research.

Should you have any questions please contact Dr. Stephen Mangi.

Thanking you in advance for your participation.
