Dear MarMam community, This email is being sent to people that may have an interest in the marine ecosystem of the Aleutian Islands in southwest Alaska. We apologize if you have already received this email through another email distribution list. This is an opportunity to rate ocean research priorities for Ecosystem Health in the Aleutian Island Region. Research priorities were suggested by stakeholders in an initial scoping process for an Aleutian Island Regional Marine Research Plan. Now, as the project is finalized, researchers are requesting participation from a broad range of interest groups to help assign importance scores to research categories and specific research/information projects. Your survey participation provides valuable feedback that could be used as a foundation for future ecosystem-based management plans. Please respond by *July 29, 2011*. Follow the link below, or copy/past the URL into your browser (please allow for approximately 30 minutes to complete this survey): http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Ecosystem_Health Please contact the researchers below if you have questions regarding this project.
