This effort is being repeated quarterly to try and capture the evolving impacts of coronavirus disease.Click: Take the Quarter 2 Survey
This survey is being supported by funding from the National Sea Grant Office (NSGO) and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS).

Results from this study may also be published in the future. This survey will close on July 17, 2020.
