Surveys are a useful tool for understanding natural resource stakeholders such as fishers. Surveys can be used to measure support for an agency’s decisions and policy, motivations to fish and satisfaction in fishing, as well as barriers to participation. Survey design is a skill that requires training and knowledge to craft a questionnaire that is useful, as well as sequential steps taken in the design process. Like any research endeavour, a research problem, goal, objective, or question must be articulated before designing a questionnaire. Decisions around which concepts and questions should be included in the survey to answer the research question must be made, along with deciding the methods used to deploy the survey. Taking time to draft, revise, and pre-test a survey is key to making sure your research goals are addressed. Planning how your survey data will be analysed to answer the research question is critical to make sure you will collect the appropriate data, given the needs of the project. In this chapter, we provide 37 guidelines to help you design a survey and the questions within that survey to meet your needs.
