Coast to Ocean: A Fife-Eye View 

We invite you to help us identify Fife communities’* knowledge and responses towards the coastal and marine environment around Fife and beyond, including awareness of current threats and their solutions. The survey results will help us inform and engage you further on these topics.  

This study is being conducted by the University of St Andrews in partnership with the People Ocean Planet Initiative. See Project website. 

All the information collected in this survey will be anonymized, and your answers will only be shared within the research group.
