My project that my mentor and myself have created is based on bringing education on sustainability to consumers who are buying seafood from grocery chains and fish markets. Then providing the needed information through social media. I will be creating surveys, one targeted to the consumer then another one directed towards local fisherman. A link to the surveys will be posted soon.
I plan on going to local fish markets in Downtown SD and asking the public to fill out a 3 minute survey that will give me data that I can collect in order to get an understanding of what the majority of people are already aware of with sustainably caught seafood. Then with that given data I will create a page in social media (Facebook/Instagram) that will allow fisherman to be in direct contact with there followers of where and how they caught the fish.
Skills that will be needed with this project is being able to outreach to consumers and using social speaking skills to connect to them and convincing them to participate in the survey. As well as organization, when handling data every measurement must be precise or it can spoil the result, so being aware of the data and knowing how to fit it will play a key skill in this project. As far as support, I will need to be able to have connections with local fisherman and have someone point me to best markets/ grocery stores that consumers will be open to answering a few questions based on there purchase. Luckily I am working on site with employees/students who have done similar outreach, those connections wont be to gain
