Abstract

Creating Public Voice with a Spatial, Science-based Opinion Survey
Track: Conservation
Authors: Richard Lawrence

AZ Game & Fish used a science-based web survey to ask hunting and fishing license holders to submit maps of their most-valued AZ hunting and fishing spots. AGOL provided the tools to jump-start the survey in September of 2015. The survey created a voice for the public in AZ conservation circles, with the goal of preserving access to public lands for hunters and anglers. The presentation overviews implementation, data analysis, best practices, and lessons learned as a guide for future efforts.
