| Lyme Bay: closure of an area to scallop dredging and heavy trawling gear. On the 11 July 2008, the UK government closed sixty square miles of Lyme Bay to boats using scallop dredges and heavy demersal trawls in order to provide protection against damage to marine ecosystems incurred as a result of towed benthic gear. The area, however, remains open to sea anglers, scuba divers, fishers using pots and nets and other recreational users. If you have been fishing at any location within Lyme Bay in 2010 (including sites near Portland, Start Point, Dartmouth, Teignmouth, Exmouth, Lyme Regis etc) we would like to invite you to take part in the third and final stage of this research and to complete the following questionnaire at http://www.lymebaysurvey.org.uk/ . Please try to fill in the questionnaire as honestly and thoroughly as possible. We know that your time is valuable and we have therefore developed a questionnaire which should not take long to complete. Your opinion matters and your response is therefore extremely important if the results are to truly reflect the opinion of the stakeholder community in Lyme Bay. Answers given will remain confidential and only aggregated data will be used in the analysis and reporting. By taking part in this questionnaire you are consenting to the use of the data you provide for the purpose of this research. Should you have any questions please contact one of the project team. Thanking you in advance for your participation. Sian Rees Telephone: 01752 584732 E-mail: sian.rees@plymouth.ac.uk     |
