ReCLAMation of Shellfish Aquaculture Leases - Impact Survey

State partners are currently applying for a substantial NOAA Marine Debris Removal grant to fund a program contracting shellfish aquaculture growers with the specials skills, equipment and knowledge required to remove damaged and/or abandoned clam bags from Aquaculture Use Zones off Cedar Key in Levy County, Florida. In order to submit the most accurate number of bags to be removed in the grant application, we need your help gathering data. 

This survey will remain anonymous, unless you would like to be considered to participate as a contractor for the program and should take 5 minutes to complete. Data collected from this survey will not be used for regulatory purposes.   

If you have questions about this survey, please reach out to Rose Cantwell (Cantwellrr@bellsouth.net), Cedar Key Aquaculture Association or Leslie Sturmer, UF/IFAS Shellfish Aquaculture Extension Program (Lnst@ufl.edu).
