In February and March this year, the Alderney Marine Forum conducted a postal survey of Alderney residents to collect views on how the sea around Alderney should be managed for the benefit of all residents over the next 10 years and beyond. A short summary of the survey results has been produced and will be used to help inform the development of a marine management plan for Alderney's waters. 

Thanks to everyone who participated!

The first steps in the community engagement strategy begin with the distribution of a postal survey to all households on Alderney. This is to gather input from the Alderney community regarding priorities for coastal and marine management in the sea around Alderney. An online version of the survey is available here.
