New Aquaponics Survey Launches in September 2013

Researchers from three schools- Johns Hopkins University, University of Maryland and West Virginia University - are combining forces to conduct the largest survey of the aquaponics field. The survey will collect critical information about production methods and community engagement among aquaponics hobbyists, educators, farmers and companies. The responses will help contribute to a better understanding of this growing field.

This confidential online survey takes about 15 minutes to complete, and survey respondents can enter a lottery to win one of four $75 Amazon gift certificates. The research team is encouraging individuals to take the survey and share it with others in the aquaponics community.

The survey can be accessed here: www.jhsph.edu/clf/survey_aquaponics.html<http://www.jhsph.edu/clf/survey_aquaponics.html>

Questions or comments can be directed to Dr. Dave Love, Assistant Scientist at the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future (dlove at jhsph.edu<mailto:dlove at jhsph.edu>).

SOCIAL MEDIA PRESS KIT

If you plan on using social media to distribute our survey, we have drafted some sample language you can use. Make sure to include the link as well as the text in posts.

Facebook post:
Calling all aquaponics enthusiasts. Take an aquaponics survey conducted by Johns Hopkins University researchers.  http://survey.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_237w4JwyWSOQqz3

(this link works well for Facebook posts because it has an embedded image)

Twitter post:

If you are more Facebook savvy, you could instead "share" our Facebook post and Tweet that will be uploading to https://www.facebook.com/LivableFuture and https://twitter.com/livablefuture on the morning of Tuesday, September 3rd.

Thank you for your help!  If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
