<p class="MsoNormal">The deadline for the marine data value user survey has been extended to

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We would appreciate if you could circulate the following text and survey link to your colleagues and suitable marine data organisations.

<p style="background:white"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="color:black">The first stage of this project contains a survey of users of public marine data repositories with the aim to better understand value chains associated with public marine data – a crucial step towards closing
important knowledge gaps surrounding the valuation of the societal benefits of public marine data.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p style="background:white"><span style="color:black">We would be grateful if you and your colleagues could take a couple of minutes to answer the following
<span class="MsoHyperlink">questionnaire.</span> Doing so would be greatly appreciated – your contribution will help inform future ocean policies in the run-up to the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development 2021-2030.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
