(Applicants may send any additional supporting information which they may like considered by the Assessment Panel to the SIA)
Applicants must carry out an assessment of their program between 6 and 12 months after implementation in their catchment or district. This survey may take many forms, and the more feedback available the better managed future programs can become. If a catchment has litter traps fitted, a volume or weight comparison prior to and after the Program would measure community behavior change. As a minimum, the SIA recommends a "fish" recognition questionnaire randomly conducted in local shopping centres. A copy of all survey results should be forwarded to the SIA as soon as possible, after compilation, to assist the national Program.
