External Evaluation Documentation

Document Actions
In January 2005, SEACOOS invited a 5 person evaluation committee to provide comment and recommendations for the program. Extensive documentation was pulled together to assist the committee in their evaluation, and as supplementary information to the presentations. The three day meeting was held at the USF campus in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Each evaluator recieved 2 binders:
Binder #1 - information supporting the presentations (background info, WG documents)
Binder #2 - proposals and reports for Yrs 1-3.

Many of these documents are in PDF format, which requires the Adobe Acrobat Reader. This free program is available for instant download from the Adobe website.
