You Navigate

We chose the tagline “You navigate” for the Ocean Portal in part because we really want you—the visitors to the site—to help steer the course. We hope you find your own intriguing paths to explore the OP as it exists now, but we’re also looking for input to help guide the site’s development in the months and years ahead.

We’d like to call your attention to three ways you can easily speak your mind:

• At the top and bottom of every page of the OP, you’ll see a link that says "Feedback." This is a quick way to offer your opinions and impressions of a particular page. Please use these as often as you like on as many pages as you like.

• Inside the feedback window, there is a link to more detailed survey about your experience on a given page and the site as a whole. If you have a few minutes to spare, these additional details will help us even more. You can also access it here.

• If you’d like to stay involved, enter your email address at the bottom of the survey and join the OP User Advisory Panel. We’ll send you occasional emails asking for your input as we develop new features and decide which topics to cover next on the OP.

Please join us. We want the Ocean Portal to be a site you love to visit. To get there, we need your help at the helm.
