Marine Biodiversity Survey
This survey is sponsored by Exeter University working with the RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds) to better understand how people feel about different coastal views and the wildlife by the seaside.

All information gathered will be kept anonymous and confidential.

The survey will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. Please take the time to complete it as fully as you can.
But first, we have some other important information to share...

Marine Biodiversity Survey
What is Biodiversity?
In this survey you are going to see some photos and videos of wildlife by the sea. Each photo and video will have between 3 and 5 questions for you to answer.

For some photos we will ask you to say how ‘biodiverse’ a scene is. For the purpose of this survey the term ‘biodiversity’ simply means: ‘The number, variety and variability of living organisms.’

Don’t worry, it’s not a test, we’re just trying to understand what 'biodiversity' means to people.

Marine Biodiversity Survey
For the first task you will see two versions of the same photo; one will be a full view of the scene and the other will be a close up of an area of the scene.

We would like you to imagine you are walking along the coast and you stop to look at the view - this will be the first version of the photo.  Something in that view catches your eye and you reach for your binoculars to take a closer look - this will be the second version of the photo.

Whilst viewing the photos please imagine you are there and answer the questions scoring them on the scales provided. When you have answe

Thank you for completing the first task.

The second and final task requires you to watch 6 video clips each lasting 30 seconds.  We would like you to imagine you are sitting watching these scenes unfold. Please answer the 4 questions per video and score them on the scales provided. Once you have answered each question please press the ‘next’ button to move to the next question.
Please note: This task involves video clips which are best viewed with sound.  If you are in a place where you can listen as well as watch the videos, please ensure you have the sound turned on. If this is not possible we would still like you to view the videos, but please let us know by ticking this box:
