Fish Safe Survey Results and Fish Safe Edition PFD Draw Winners
The formal evaluation of the Fish Safe Stability Program was completed by the University of British Columbia Applied Research and Evaulation Studies Department (ARES).  Survey responses were received from fishermen until August 1, 2008.  We had a 30% return rate when the average is generally 10%.  UBC has completed their analysis of the raw data and a report will be made available shortly.  The next step is to hold 2 focus groups which will allow for more in depth discussion and feedback for future programs.  Quinte Marine will also provide a final report compiling both the UBC results with the focus group results.  WorkSafe BC will use this information to inform other programs and this report will also be provided as a requirement for our ongoing Transport Canada funding.

Dave Hardie a troller / longliner from Comox and Jim Harris a trawler from Nanaimo won the draw for completing the questionnaire and were provided with a Fish Safe Edition Mustang Auto Inflate PFD as their prize.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the survey and for making the evaluation process so successful!
