NC WRC Launches Boating Access Survey

The North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission has been watching the decline of water access as carefully as most boaters and this week they've announced a new survey to gather resident's thoughts before determining a final course of action. The survey, which ends on December 15th, includes five components: an online survey accessible at www.ncwildlife.org, 3,500 mailers to boaters, 20 survey boxes located at kiosk stands throughout eastern North Carolina, 600 questionnaires to be completed via telephone interviews, and interviews to be conducted at 15 boat launch sites over the next three weekends. Data from the survey will help the Commission identify the best locations for future boating access areas. Through its boating access area program, the WRC's Division of Engineering Services currently manages 202 boating access areas that are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We hope to see that number climb once the WRC is able to review the survey data. Take a few minutes and fill out the WRC's online survey, your input is important to the future of boating in NC.
