Helping the Ocean

Ocean-Friendly Home Audit Survey

Now that you have learned all of the ways in which you and others can help make sure the oceans are clean and safe, you can make sure that your home is ocean-friendly. Using the tips and methods that you learned in this topic, create an Ocean-Friendly Home Audit Survey that you can use to see how well you and the members of your household are doing to help the oceans.

Your survey should include the following items:

• A title
• An introduction to the survey
• A list of four to five questions for survey respondents to answer

Once you have created your survey, ask any members of your household to complete it and then compile the answers. Once you have compiled the answers, write a short three to four sentence summary of your household's ocean-friendly status. In your summary, you may want to consider how successful the respondents were in answering the questions, as well as any areas of improvement. Remember, even if you do not live near the ocean, you can have an impact on local waterways that eventually feed to the ocean. Before you begin, access the Ocean-Friendly Home Audit Survey Checklist to make sure you have included all of the needed items required for full credit.

Once you have completed your Ocean-Friendly Home Audit Survey and analysis of the responses, please submit your work to the dropbox.
